eurotoot

Description

EUROTOOT is a simple yet one-of-a-kind application designed to mimic the basic experience of multi-city European travel. During such a trip, you normally face time, money, and energy constraints that challenge your trip planning skills and force you to make many choices from alternative options and then to manage the later consequences of those choices.

Game mode is free and challenges you to build and complete a fun European journey against real-world time, money, and energy limitations. Planner mode can be unlocked for $1.99 and allows you more freedom to design and save a customized Eurotrip without many of the limitations present in Game mode.

Version 1.0 of EUROTOOT features London, Paris, and Amsterdam. Additional cities will be released at no additional cost over time so that both Game and Planner modes enable you to build trips with more European city combinations.

I) In Game mode, your virtual European journey must be completed while satisfying several conditions:
1. spend the exact number of nights you selected at the start of the trip
2. visit at least three cities during your trip
3. end the trip in the same location as you started
4. to keep to your budget (i.e. not run out of money during the trip)
5. manage daily time/energy allowances

While meeting all of these conditions, your aim is to select from a variety of real-life European travel-related activities to maximize your Toots, i.e. your points reflecting the enjoyment and experience of the trip. The games with the highest number of Toots are saved as your Best Scores.

II) In Planner mode, you have more flexibility to plan a European journey, choosing among the same types of activities, without facing the dual limitations on your trip duration (number of nights) and your budget that make the Game mode more challenging.

Who might enjoy EUROTOOT?
1) those planning an actual trip to Europe and want some virtual practice to organize time/money/energy before taking such a trip,
2) those who might never have a chance to travel to Europe but still might want to imagine the fun experience in some way.
