Rule Check Desk

Work a border desk: read the rule sheet, check each applicant's papers against every rule and decide who comes in. Five shifts, each adding a rule, and the desk tells you which rule you missed.

How to play

  1. Read the rule sheet at the top. It lists what must be true for an applicant to be let in.
  2. Each applicant shows a passport, an entry permit and a bag weight. Check every paper against every rule.
  3. Press Let in if all the rules are met, or Turn away if even one is broken. The desk then tells you which rule decided it.
  4. A shift is twelve applicants. Three mistakes end the shift. Each new shift adds one rule, so there is more to check.

Tips and strategy

  • Go down the rule list in order for every applicant, so you never skip one.
  • Most turned-away applicants break exactly one rule, so the first one you find is the only one.
  • Names must match exactly, letter for letter. Check the permit name against the passport name.
  • Dates matter. A permit from yesterday or tomorrow is not a permit for today.

FAQ

Can an applicant break two rules?
No. Each applicant either meets every rule or breaks exactly one, so there is one right answer.
What happens after three mistakes?
The shift ends and you can start it again with a new set of applicants.
Is the order of applicants the same each time?
No. Each shift is made fresh from random papers.
