6. How to Play: The aim of the Game is to distribute thelondonpaper to as many people as possible, during a typical London rush hour. Entrants are provided with a team of three distributors. Entrants then place their distributors on any highlighted part of the map and they will give a paper to each person who walks by. Distributors are moved by picking them up and dragging the cursor over a section of road. When it becomes lighter, entrants can drop their distributor and they will stay in that location until moved.
People enter and exit the map area from the map’s edge and from the tube station in the middle. The challenge is to work out which routes people will take. People walking are not shown, entrants must use their intuition to decide what route and to where the majority of people will walk.
The shortest route to a destination will be most people’s favourite option, but there are a number of special factors, indicated by icons, which will affect people’s choice of route. These will vary from day to day and some will attract people towards them, while others will deter them.
Provided entrants have their distributors in place by 6pm each day, the Game will store their locations for that day. The following morning, entrants will receive an email, which will tell them how many people received a copy of thelondonpaper from their distributors. If entrants do not change distributor locations each day, they will stay where they were last left continuing to work as instructed. However, as the special factors change each day, an entrant’s choice of where best to distribute from may become out of date.
Entrants will receive daily emails which will tell them how their team of distributors did compared to other people’s teams.
The overall scores expressed as a percentage are displayed on the Game site showing daily, weekly and monthly ratings and at the end of the Game the final scores.
7. Scoring: Each day entrants will receive an email with a breakdown of how successful their distributors were. This is based on the number of people passing through the distribution area who received a newspaper from each of the entrant’s distributors expressed as a percentage and ranked against all players in the Game. The highest score at the end of the week will win the weekly prize. Each week entrants’ scores will return to zero for the purposes of the new week’s Game but the score will be stored and will accumulate towards the monthly score, when there will be another winner. The monthly score will also be returned to zero for the purposes of the next month’s Game but again the weekly scores making up that month will accumulate for an overall total at the end of the Game and the person with the highest score at the end of the Game will win the overall prize.
8. The will be one prize each week over the eleven weeks of game play, one monthly prize each for the periods October 6 – October 31st and 2nd November – 28th November month and one overall prize through the duration of the Game.
