Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Which precious possession does Lisse rescue from the cleaning robot in her dormitory on the last day of school?

Answer: Her Journal

Lisse runs back to the dormitory and is just in time to save her journal from the clutches of the cleaning robot. After being safe at school since she was a small child, the thought of the last day, and being out in the world alone is terrifying to her.
2. Which two members of "the group" are not originally dropped off in the city by the school bus?

Answer: Benta and Rich

Benta goes home to her father's farm and Rich goes off to be his father's junior partner in his psychiatry practice. They both think their futures are secure and sorted out, but "they" have other ideas...

Lisse and the other seven members of their group are dropped off together in the Designated Area and left to fend for themselves.
3. When the two boys from the gang try to entice Lisse across the road and out of her "Designated Area", what do they say they will buy her if she comes?

Answer: A daffodil

Lisse is staring at the flowers in a shop window because it has been so long since there was "any colour in her life" and the two toughs offer to buy her "a daff" if she comes over. Luckily she has more street sense by this time, and runs away from them.
4. Which train stop is the destination for those who are invited to "The Game"?

Answer: Barton Oaks

None of the group have ever seen a train before, let alone travelled on one, so even the journey to The Game is a daunting experience for them. They are also subject to stares and comments from the employeds on the train who wonder what a bunch of unemployeds are doing there.
5. What is the name of the bar where the group meet Charlie and almost get into serious trouble?

Answer: Coffee Bush

Charlie is a local crime boss and wants Alden's chemistry know-how to make illegal drugs to sell. When Alden turns down his offer, Charlie sends thugs to beat him up, but the group manage to use their karate skills and escape relatively unharmed.
6. Which member of the group is the medic?

Answer: Rich

Rich is very unhappy when he realises that his entire future is being manipulated for the purpose of "The Game" - he was happy working with his father, and when his settled, secure future is snatched away and he is forced to move into the city with the group, he is devastated.
7. When the group first visit the new world of The Game, where are they when they wake up?

Answer: The Mesa

Their first visit to what will eventually be their new home begins at the Mesa. They climb to the top to get a good look all around them, and the "trip" ends when Lisse slips and falls on the way back down. At this point the group have no way of knowing if the visits are real or imaginary.
8. What do Lisse and Scylla use to make their very first fishing line?

Answer: Scylla's hair

Scylla has waist length red hair, and the girls make a plait from 5 strands, with a thorn hook, to catch their first fish.
9. What name do Lisse's group give to their new home planet?

Answer: Prize

On their very first visit to "The Game" they were told that the prize would be their "heart's desire" if they managed to win it, so they name their new home Prize to acknowledge that they had indeed won The Game.
10. At the end of the book, which of the girls is pregnant with the first baby that will be born on their new world?

Answer: Lisse

Lisse and her husband Philip are expecting the very first baby born on Prize, at the end of the story. Lisse is convinced her baby will be a girl, and sets out to write down the story of the group, how they came to Prize, met their spouses from the other group, and built their community, so that her daughter will know her parents' history one day.
