Questions
Frequently asked questions
Short, honest answers. Where something is still undecided, we say so.
When can we play?
We're scheduling the first sessions. Get in touch and we'll propose a date. Organisations can request an in-house session for their team or discuss a local heat on their own problem. The free warm-up on the home page is open to anyone today. Individuals can sign up for upcoming online open sessions; we email you the next date once it is set. You only pay when a session is confirmed and you can attend.

What does it cost?
The warm-up is free. Online open sessions are €78.65 per person incl. 21% VAT (€65 excl. VAT). You only pay when a session is confirmed and you can attend. For organisations, prices are excl. VAT: an in-house session is €2,950 (€3,569.50 incl. 21% VAT), facilitator certification is €850 plus a 10% royalty (€1,028.50 incl. 21% VAT, plus the royalty), and a local heat is €45,000 (€54,450 incl. 21% VAT). Commissions are priced on request. Business prices are excl. VAT; prices for individuals are incl. 21% VAT. You receive a written quote before anything is agreed. Any prize money in a heat is set and paid by the host. Agreements are made with, and invoiced by, Humanity Solutions (KvK 71110178). Our general terms, including cancellation, are published.
Can I take part on my own?
Yes. You don't need a team: sign up for upcoming online open sessions and you'll play with people you've just met, on the same challenge and scoring as a team session. You only pay when a session is confirmed and you can attend.
What do winning teams get?
In a session, the reward is the score and the debrief: you see how your team worked together and what to try next. In a local heat, any prize money is set and paid by the host and announced in that heat's rules. No other prizes have been set.
What is Humanity Games?
A challenge where teams combine human judgement, AI and robotics to solve a real problem, scored on published rules. You can play it as a session, host it as a local heat, or later take part in the global season. It is not a game jam, pitch contest or entertainment title.
What happens in an in-house session?
Your team works on one real track problem with everyday AI tools and a simulated or kit robot task. The solution is scored on the published rubric, and you get a written debrief on how the team collaborated. Up to 12 people; up to 24 on request.
What is a local heat?
A challenge of 4–8 weeks on one owner’s real problem: track design with the published rubric, 4–12 teams, mentoring, a jury and a public showcase. The host sets and pays any prize money.
Do we need a real robot?
No. Sessions and local heats allow simulated or kit robots. Field rules for physical robots in the global season are still being drafted.
How is each format scored?
Sessions are scored on the solution only; the social-media half does not apply indoors. Local heats and the global season use the full split: 50% solution efficacy and 50% social-media impact.
Can I become a facilitator?
A first beta cohort is forming. You get training, materials and the scoring rules, and can run sessions yourself. Licence terms are set in a separate agreement, on request.
What about the global season?
It is our long-term goal: teams from many cities competing on the same rules, funded by sponsors and built on local heats. Format, prizes and dates are not set. Organisations can help shape it as Season sponsors (Founding Circle).
Who organises Humanity Games?
Humanity Solutions organises the Games and governs the rules, tracks, scoring and jury criteria, with a veto on safety, ethics and integrity. Agreements are made with, and invoiced by, Humanity Solutions (KvK 71110178).
Does anyone buy scores?
No. Neither Humanity Solutions nor partners buy scores or panel seats. Partner input on tracks and metrics is advisory, and partner representatives stay a minority on their own track’s panel.
Are Sumnetics tools required?
No. Sumnetics offers optional assessments for teams that want to change how they work with AI after a session. They are never a condition, and Sumnetics does not organise or judge the Games.
What happens to the details I send?
When you send a form, your details go to Humanity Solutions so we can reply. We delete them 12 months after our last contact with you.
Is this related to the PlayStation game or other “Humanity” titles?
No. This is a different project: a real-world challenge for human–AI–robot teams, organised by Humanity Solutions. It is not the entertainment game titled Humanity, nor any similarly named game or media franchise.
