Running Order

Specimen Episode Running Order - The Bank Job

Prologue – The real world arrivals of the three players - intercut with a spectacular virtual world scene-setter – the first act in a bank raid.

1. The players discover their avatars. Two are in the gang – the other’s on the security staff. None of them knows who’s a stooge, an ally or a rival.

2. All charm, the puppet master (PM) welcomes and interviews each player – he’ll pop up in their bunkers throughout the show. Back in the control room, he and his accomplices plot the next beat of the story for their victims.

3. The raid develops. Each celebrity worries whether to compete or cooperate in the face of dangers and opportunities: time-delay vaults, extra bullion, and dodgy, disloyal members of the gang and the bank staff.
3. Halfway through the show the PM introduces the players to each other in the real world. No one reveals their avatar .The PM presides over bluff, banter and sparring - then sends them back to their avatars in the bank vault.

4. A police sharpshooter kills one of the gang – one of the celebrity players. The jeopardy ratchets up.

5. The Remaining celeb avatars are stuck in the vault. The puppet master’s stooges - hot, sexy and desperate - up the ante. The interaction is intense, funny, embarrassing..

6. Another round of guessing. The dead celebrity joins in, giving no clue they are out of the game.

7. The police try to storm the bank. The gang has to make a run for it. “Come with me,” says the sexy catsuit stooge to Player G, “I know a way…” But does he trust her? In the final shoot-out only one of the avatars escapes and wins

8. Revelations – who double-crossed who, who kissed who, who messed up who and titles. The survivor, and his/her avatar, will be back later in the series.
