In this collective task, you play together with 4 other participants and aim to collect valuable points. Note that it is not possible to find out with whom you are in a group and mind that communication is not allowed.

How can I collect points?

Each groupmember gets an endowment 10 points in each round. Within each round you decide whether you want to keep your 10 points, or whether you want to invest your 10 points in a collective pot. The other 4 members in your group face the same decision. When you decide to keep your 10 points you actually get to keep them. When you decide to invest your 10 points in the group project, you lose them. If enough members of your group invest their 10 points in the collective pot, a collective good is created. In this case, every group member gets an extra 15 points. If you invested, your end up with 15 points in that round (you lost the 10 points by investing them, but gained 15). If you did not invest, but enough other players did, you end up with 25 points (you kept 10 and receive 15 in addition). The collective task is repeated several times, and over the rounds you can accumulate your points.

When is the collective good produced?

Each member of the group, including you, has a share. Your share is {{ player.share }}. The shares of the group members sum to 100. The group project is produced when the sum of the shares of members that invested are equal to or larger than 51. Thus: if 3 or more members invest, the good is produced and everybody gains 15 points.

After each decision you and the other group members are told whether the collective good is produced, how many players invested, and what your gains are for that round. At the end of task we present the total amount of points that you accumulated over all rounds.
