By mixing social game and drama, Lifeboat Unit invented the genre of
interactive theatrical social game where audience members actively
participate in the performance. Sociopoly is about the life of poor
families living in small villages in today's Hungary. The families can
only hope for income via aids, temporary jobs or illegal work – these
are the resources our players have in order to make ends meet somehow.
In this reality constructed by the play, everyone becomes poor for an
hour or two and will feel the excruciating feeling of standing out on
their own skin. The creators use the emotional energy of the game so
that the participants would get a feel of the frustration of daily
survival without work, money, or other resources.
