We built a sandbox game space with several client stations and a set of PU Heroes placed as life size cardboard figures around the venue. The aim of the game was simple and transparent: solve the challenges at the client stations, one by one, with the help of the PU Heroes.

Each Hero carried two skills and a short QR code profile. This mattered because teams used the heroes to practise skill distribution and a matrix style way of thinking about skills. 

At every client station the loop was clear. First, teams matched Hero skills to a four part client scenario. Good choices unlocked hints and small advantages. Next, they tackled a unique playful challenge such as a route build, code cracking or a visual riddle. 

Teams were free to start anywhere, and their approaches varied. Some planned carefully by mapping skills and routes. Others followed instinct, discovering the story and tasks as they went. Both paths worked, and both made delegation visible on the floor.
