Employee: This will be the place of the last 3 groups: Group 23, 24 and 25!
Number 97: But you said we will be in an abandoned building, it's clearly not the best looking, but it doesn't seem like it's abandoned to me!
Employee 1: This building was a functional hotel about 3 months ago, so it's in a pretty good state still.
Employee 2: Listen everyone! This building has 3 separated parts, counting from left to right if standing in front of the entrance, then the first one is on the left, the second is in the middle, the third one is at the right. Group 23 will be left, Group 24 will be middle and Group 25 will be on the right. We will serve you breakfast and let you explore the part of the building where you are all gonna play in. And finally, at 9am we will announce the first game!
Greg (It's not really an enormous building, there's a hallway, main hall, canteen and 8 rooms on the next floor)
Employee 2: Please everyone, The first game is about to be announced, in about 10 minutes, everyone must be in that hallway where their game will be played!
10 minutes elapsed without any communication between the players, and as their referee walks in, the gigantic door shuts behind him with a loud impact, and locks the door, they can't leave until the game is over, everyone could feel the tension there.
Referee no.23: Hello you all, I will be your referee in this game!
Referee no.23: *cough* Well then. Seems like all four of you are finally here, so I will just start. The first game you will participate in is called "Score Up!"! In this game 2 teams with each of them containing 2 members will be drawn randomly, the teams will be called "Team A" and "team B". The game will last 12 rounds or until one team is in an irreversible drawback. Everyone will have 3 choices each round, +1, +3 and INFO. I will now explain all three of them. If you play +1 your team is guaranteed to gain 1 point, if you use +3, there are 2 possible outcomes;
1: your teammate plays a +1 or INFO ---> your team will gain 3 extra points points,
2: your teammate uses a +3 too ---> your team will gain no points at all, making +3 to play risky. And the INFO, if you use it, we will give you information about who used and what in the last 3 turns.
At the start of every round, we will give you a card that has a QR-code in it. When we calculate the points, we will read the QR-code and will instantly know whose card it was. Also, we will have deadlines for every round, if you give the card to the referee later than that or will not give it at all, it will be counted as you do nothing at the round. You can give your card anytime from the start of the round to the last second of it.
Do any of you have any questions about the game?
A couple seconds of silence... And the one who breaks it is...
Greg: I do! We were told that the teams will be drawn, but if the team is given, then the teammates would just play +1 and +3 combos at the entire game, making it a tie inevitably. It does not make sense to call it a game.
Referee: Oh. Didn't I tell you? We will not give you the information who will be in which team and with who, otherwise the game would be boring. Also, violence is banned, if anything like that happens, the one who started, their team will instantly lose even if they were on the winning side. Also, you all should share your names with everyone! Just to make it more direct, than just saying numbers instead of names.
Greg: Then I will start!
Greg: My name is Greg! With the number 89!
Lucas: My name is Lucas. Number 90.
Samuel: My name is Samuel, number 92.
Tomi: I'm number 91. Name, Tomi.
Referee: Very good, the teams are already drawn, the first deadline is today 16:00!
Greg (We get that so much time to think? And what should I play? I know, usually, you would not risk a +3, especially in the first round! So the most probable is that my teammate will play +1 too, I don't think anyone would play INFO in the first round, even though its reaso...)
Greg was thinking about his strategy when Tomi walks over him, he's having a wide smirk on his face, and with his hands in his pockets
Tomi: Hello Greg, what's up?
Greg: Huh? Hello? What do you want?
