About the Product

The Bridge is an online murder mystery game set around the iconic Erasmus Bridge in Rotterdam, the Netherlands (Europe), where something really bad happened last night.

The Bridge is categorized as a serious game, and in this particular case, it is meticulously crafted around two core themes: data-driven work and collaboration. This serious game integrates these themes into 7 learning objectives for data-driven work and 7 for teamwork.

Your objective is to team up and solve a murder within the challenging time limit of just one hour.

The Bridge is a game where 4 players investigate a murder online, regardless of their physical location. They must identify the correct suspect within an hour. The game's software assigns data and tasks to each player, requiring effective collaboration. This unique blend of teamwork and data-driven problem-solving fosters critical skills for real-world scenarios.

You play the game through a URL sent to you. By launching the URL, you initiate the game. After your team has logged in, you meet the commissioner who has been called back from vacation (due to the murder) and isn't in the best of moods.

Then finally, you dive into the case. You meet witnesses, discover pieces of evidence, tapes, fingerprints, and surveillance footage, and gradually, you start closing in on the suspect, all while the clock is ticking away.

And ultimately, you proceed to make an arrest, where you will apprehend (hopefully) the right suspect.

In conclusion, players will enjoy an engaging introduction to data-driven work, allowing for a seamless transition to your next steps, whether it be starting your project or training module.

Lastly, you can also play the game in parallel, for instance, with 20, 50, and 200 teams simultaneously. What's exciting about this is that it adds a competitive element. The game keeps track, per team, of various scores related to how you handle your data and how well teamwork unfolds.

In short, The Bridge is an innovative and enjoyable way to kick off a program or learning module. It's a refreshing change from a stack of PowerPoint slides or a tiring Teams video meeting. By providing people with an engaging experience, they become more involved and open to your follow-up process.

PS Needless to say, due to the online nature of The Bridge, the game is time and location-independent, with infinite reach and scalability.

Requirements

Playing The Bridge is very easy. Some requirements are in place.

You should have:

  • You're best off playing the game with 4 players, but fewer is also okay. However, keep in mind that the fewer players you have, the more the collaborative aspect will diminish.
  • All players are required to log in individually from their own devices, as the game relies on this setup to read and distribute information, fostering collaboration among participants.
  • The device should be a laptop or PC; tablets or phones don't work as smoothly.
  • You should use Google Chrome, Firefox, or Edge as your browser.
  • Location is not a limiting factor; participants can be situated anywhere. They may choose to gather in the same physical space, work from home, or adopt a combination of both. When joining from home, it's crucial to establish a video call connection for essential communication.

To play the game, Digital Rocks provides a set of licenses, which are ready-to-use URLs that you can simply launch. Easy right?

You have the option to have the game facilitated by a guide from your organization. This facilitator initiates the game, oversees its progression, and conducts a concluding reflection session at the end. Organizations interested in adopting "The Bridge" for their teams will gain entry to our Digital Rocks Game Platform. This platform enables them to generate URLs, access game scores, and download a range of informational materials. Additionally, the potential facilitator will receive a facilitation course from Digital Rocks.

The game lasts around an hour and a half in total. This includes a 15-minute welcome and setup, followed by about an hour of gameplay, and concluding with a 15-minute wrap-up session.
