you did a speed giving game? It’s about giving people the opportunity to choose for themselves, and there may also be some rebels in your target group. ;)
So with 1 € per person, this would make 29 players. How much time and people did you invest in the uni forum? How was the ratio with people getting a flyer / speaking with you and not participating in the giving game to those who did (had you more impressions on people than 29)?
Hi Felix,
I was involved in many of the discussions and will try to answer your questions.

Yes, many of the students initially liked the idea of playpumps and chose them as preliminary favourite and some actually directly put their coin into the playpump-box[1].
After we provided them the more detailed info, most changed their decision and for one of them it just felt more proper to treat their putting their coin in the playpump-box as final, even though they would have made a different decision with their updated knowledge.
For the second person, “rebel” actually kind of fits as a description at least for this one interaction with us :)

Hmm, preparation was at maybe 30 h total (where most of this time was specifying what exactly we intended to do, reading about the experiences and guides from other groups, and also collecting and adopting the printed resources. If we were to repeat this in a few weeks or next semester, the preparation would be a lot faster)
and we were two people who were present during the event itself, maybe 5 h each.
We made a lot of use of the giving game being a neat way to engage people without them feeling pressured or committing to anything in the future, so that I would say that the majority of people we reached also participated in the giving game. Unfortunately, I don’t think I can give a more more precise estimate.

Have fun with your intro meeting in six days. :)

Thanks!
we were using large glasses, but ‘box’ feels like a better description of their purpose
