Joel is attempting to port a board game called Scotland Yard (something like Clue) into a live-action game played on the streets and transit system of Toronto.
To stand out from the crowd, Mr. X must wear his yellow “X” shirt. Detectives must wear the red “D”. To win the game the detectives must physically touch Mr. X (optionally cuff, rough-up, interrogate and incarcerate).
Mr. X is randomly placed at a stop and must phone into HQ to tell his dispatcher what 3 methods of transportation he will be using on his next three moves (subway, streetcar, bus). 3 moves consists of a turn, Mr. X must reveal his location every second turn as he enters that location. His dispatcher must tell the detective’s dispatchers, who in turn tell the detectives. The detectives locations known by Mr. X at all times.
(Thanks, Joel!)
