We are going to un-box an interactive game designed by two experienced presenters. The game will be Snakes and Ladders adapted to illustrate the ups and downs in the trajectory and life of the evaluator. Well designed assignments with realistic terms of reference and expectations and good stakeholder engagement will push the evaluator upwards in the game whereas ill-conceived, unrealistically scoped and politically challenged projects with hidden agendas and questionable stakeholder engagement will push the player downwards.

Topic for discussion: The fluctuating trajectory and experiences of the evaluator in conducting evaluation projects. This presentation has been influenced by the key note speaker from AES 2018 Karol Olejniczak 'Transforming evaluation practice with serious games'.

Purpose: To use game theory to illustrate how some evaluation projects go well and the success factors involved while others projects do not.
Participants should enjoy the interactive session and provide a forum for them to reflect on their experiences with evaluation projects. The session will highlight success factors and factors that get in the way of successful outcomes in evaluation projects.
