Roleplay Quest

Individual

Scenario

You are at an international airport. Your flight is in two hours but there is a problem — one passenger has lost their boarding pass and another has too much luggage. The airport staff must help solve the problems before the flight departs.

  • Lost Traveller

    You cannot find your boarding pass anywhere. You checked in online but did not print it. You are very stressed and worried you will miss your flight.

    Secret goal: Ask for help politely. Explain your situation clearly.

  • Traveller with Heavy Luggage

    Your suitcase is 5kg over the limit. You do not want to pay the extra fee. You think you can fit some things in your hand luggage.

    Secret goal: Negotiate politely. Ask for options. Be friendly.

  • Airport Staff

    You work at the check-in desk. You can reprint boarding passes and help with luggage but must follow the rules.

    Secret goal: Stay calm and professional. Help both travellers find solutions.

  • Security Officer

    You check all passengers and their documents carefully. You noticed the lost traveller looks confused and wants to help.

    Secret goal: Ask the right questions. Be helpful but professional.
