Home
Not a very beautiful place. Small apartment, dark, miserable, cold, dirty, no
furniture. Mother is at home working with a mop in her hand. 7 kids and father
are coming home from the factory. Father is very tired and falls asleep
immediately. Communication will be between mother, kids and the player.

order to feed the kids, describes lousy living conditions in a certain manner
specific to that era.

- play – different side-games
- steal – show how it should not be done.
- homeworks – help mother
- ...
- teach some skill *- have to provide a correct answer (the correct answer
is not provided with the first selection).
*When players are selecting an incorrect answer, mother starts to explain
why they can't do that:
- kids must have rest
- God will punish them
- mother is doing the work
- ...
When the player selects the wrong answer several times, father will wake up and
there is a risk of getting beaten (randomly).
- random kid: asks instructions about some specific skill - this question can be

2. random from game to game.
- player: has to teach a skill - by solving the mini-game [a puzzle or a quiz (e.g.
reordering activities, filling in the blanks, making connections, ... but before that
they have to google - to collect information)]. When teaching fails - father wakes
up and there is a risk of being beaten. If the teaching is successful - player is led
to the other scene (in the morning together with the kids).
Some additional mini-games - going outside, getting a goal, and making fire at
home.
Solution for multiplayer - 2 skills are needed - one taught by 1 group and second
by another.

Indoor picture. Loud noise. Lots of dust, machinery, ...
Kids have to weave, they are controlled by the owner. The rest of the kids are
working in the background.
Characters:
- Owner of the factory
- Kids
- Player
One of the kids: tries to communicate with the owner
Owner: ignores
Player: asks from the owner why kids are working
Owner: explains his business model in an arrogant way.
Player: offers technical innovations - sidegames - puzzles or quizzes about
engines and equipment – how to put the machines together, how to make
textile, how to place the yarn, ..., or making working conditions better. Instead
of lime-wash you have to offer something more decent
Innovation leads to the smaller need of working hands. Kids are sent home – the
player is suddenly going through the dust and finds himself in another scene.

Parliament
A big room full of light. Lots of people talking, going around. Lots of air. Player
with a broken arm goes around the house and looks at all the space. He finds a
Member of Parliament who has an armed guard next to him.
Caracters:
- Member(s) of Parliament
- Armed guard
- Kids
- Union members
- Player
The kids and the player are trying to get the attention of the MP, because the
player has broken his arm and wants to present his views on child labour to the
MP. Kids are driven away by the armed guard, but the player and union
members are accepted.
The conversation is going on in the form of a mini-game, where there are
questions and possible answers (each union member suggests an answer) – if
the player chooses the wrong answer then he is also kicked out. It is in the form
of a dialogue.
MP: asks what is the problem
Union members: each of them suggests an answer (coming as a bubble from
their mouths, e.g. children are mistreated, we are hungry, it is dirty in the
mines, etc.)
Player: selects the correct answer, then the next round of questions-answers
appear.
If the player selects continuously a wrong answer, the crowd is “kicked out“ (this
happens randomly) of the building and no law change is considered.*
If the player selects correct answers in a row then the MP starts considering
taking the proposals for the law into consideration.
*In the case of kicking out from the building side-games could be considered in
order to let them back in again (facts about British Parliament, important

4. addresses, etc.). If the player gets the answers correct, then the way to the
Parliament is open again. If not, he has to try again.
The game ends where the player is back at home in the nice, clean environment.
He or she is happy and thinks it was all a bad dream when suddenly notices the
broken arm...
