Commissioned by the Paris board of transportation, players move around the Paris subway and bus networks. Each has a specific character chosen from the twenty-four available, e.g. Architect, Student, Nightclubber, Movie Buff... Children down to age 8 can play the Urchin and the Parisian Kid. The players must answer questions pertaining to their chosen character. The first who completes a predetermined circuit wins. The questions are general knowledge, historic, cultural, weird... : - For the Writer: What kind of animal did G rard de Nerval take out for a walk at the Palais-Royal ? - For the Musician: In which famous club did Boris Vian play jazz ? - For the Cemetery Keeper: What did Cyrano of Bergerac and Moli re have in common ? The characters were drawn by the French artist Tignous. I find it interesting to combine variable powers with a trivia game.
