Inside the game

How your choices shape this result

The answer weights below are the rules used by this game. Add the points from your chosen options; the outcome with the highest total wins. These points express our game design, not a measurement of you or anyone else.

When outcomes tie, a repeatable calculation chooses between them. Names can affect that tie-break; they do not reveal private information. Percentages, initials, ages and dates in outcome titles are authored parts of the story, not calculated probabilities or forecasts.

Explore the possible outcomes

You can read every outcome before playing. Compare a theme with a real example from your life, and keep any part that gives you a useful question.

The Fair-Itinerary Maker

You help a trip become possible by making its constraints visible. Your plan works best when people can see where their wishes fit.

A prompt to try: Ask for one priority per person.

The Third-Option Finder

You refuse to let the group choose only between two tired ideas. You often discover the option that makes everyone curious again.

A prompt to try: Find one realistic alternative.

The Everyone-Counts Vote

You notice when a cheerful yes hides real reluctance. Your travel style values an honest preference more than a convenient agreement.

A prompt to try: Make it easy to say no.

The Flexible Explorer

You do not need every friend to enjoy every minute together. Your ideal trip has shared anchors and room for individual detours.

A prompt to try: Agree on one daily meeting point.

About this game

The idea behind Vacation Vote

The group has one weekend and four different wish lists. Which travel negotiator are you?

This game contrasts The Fair-Itinerary Maker, The Third-Option Finder, The Everyone-Counts Vote, and The Flexible Explorer. Choose the scene you would enjoy, then compare the result with another route through the story. The scoring guide on this page shows exactly which themes each option supports.

Behind the result

Consistent, not predictive

Your choices add the points shown in the scoring guide above; a repeatable calculation resolves ties. The same answers return the same result. No answer can verify a fact, identify another person, or forecast a real event.

Make it social

A better conversation starter

Compare your Vacation Vote outcomes. Read the other person’s story as well as your own, then each explain one choice you nearly made differently.
