Visitors of the exhibition play together and against each other at the “TeamTable” and analyze their group dynamics. It is very interesting to see the strategies of the other players. Who act as a free-rider? Who cares about the public welfare? Who tries to encourage the others to synergetic act together?

The Public Goods Game was realized on base of the “TeamTable” concept, which was used and tested in the exhibition “Heart over Heels” at the Graz Children’s museum FRida & FreD and in our showroom “touchIT”.
