A virtual checkerboard centered on the MAIF SOCIAL CLUB consisting of 30 meters by 30 meters boxes is placed on the neighborhood. To conquer a square, it must be occupied for 10 to 30 seconds, depending on the quality of the GPS signal.

The participants invest the public spaces, the courtyards of opened building during the day, the balconies and accessible roofs. At the end of the session, the players gather around the most difficult spaces to access. They must play against the clock and use invention to investigate each available parcels.

At the end of the session, a visual and audible countdown announces the end. Participants are invited to return to MAIF SOCIAL CLUB. A screen presents the final ranking and allows to replay the session during a debrief with the participants.
