Your role
You're the architect (in this game).
Your goal
Put the stages of a building project in a sensible order.
What you know
- Changing a drawing is cheap; changing a finished wall is very expensive.
Limits
- The town council must approve the plans before building starts.
Success looks like
- Users first — You started by listening to the people who will use the library.
- Test on paper — You tried ideas with sketches and models before building.
- Rules and approval — Approval came before the builders arrived.
Skills you used
- Planning — Turning a goal into steps.
- Logical thinking — Following steps and rules precisely.
In real life
Real projects go through stages like concept, design development, permits and construction, and architects keep visiting the site while it's built.
