Paris Zoom

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 Gérard 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 Molière have in common ?

The characters were drawn by the French artist Tignous.

I find it interesting to combine variable powers with a trivia game.
