1. | Active mobility | • Non-motorised vehicles: skateboards, bicycles, skates, skateboards. • Walking and running. | • Search an alphabet soup for various ways to actively move around; • Find the code to decipher the secret message and the first number to unlock the countdown. |
2 | Means of transport | • Analysis of the different means of transport about their impact on the economic, environmental and social components. • Public transport and its characteristics. | • Search the room for various types of means of transport; • Divide the means found into two groups according to the definition of sustainable and non-sustainable and solve the riddle formula: S-NS = C (code). |
3 | Mobility pyramid | • Analysis of the hierarchy of priority for travel in the city. • Pedestrians, bicycles, public transport, freight transport, cars and motorbikes. | • A Snote (a secret message in a picture with a hidden text) forces players to watch a video that will help them answer some questions. |

5 | Organisation and planning of a city’s spaces | • Recognition and definition of different types of space in the city to create solutions towards more sustainable mobility: bicycle lanes, bus lanes, pedestrian zones, low emission zones. | • Find out the name of some areas of the road or city written with code red using glasses with red lenses; • Find the secret number written in invisible ink on the test using a UV light. |
