Participants do not have blinfolds on their eyes during the first turn of the game. In the second part of the game, they do have blinfolds on their eyes. After the game they share their reflexions and feelings: how it was to achieve the expected result without sight? And how was it with the sight? Was there any difference, and if yes, what was it for them? What about their comfort / well-being during the first part and during the second part of the game? What was the most difficult in it for them? Was there anything they enjoyed during the whole game (first and second turn all told), and if yes, what was it? Was there anything they really disliked and if yes, what was it? |
