Jag kommer ihåg att läsa en bok som skrevs av Monica Hughes 1990 under namnet Inbjudan till spelet det låter lika.
Lisse and her seven friends are unemployed after graduating from a respected private school, and are assigned to live as a group in an abandoned warehouse in a Designated Area (DA)....
One day the group get invited to "The Game", which turns out to be a virtual-reality full-world simulation .... This simulation is based in an outdoor environment and the aim seems to be survival in this different climate....
They realize that The Game was a kind of training program meant to prepare the group- and others like them- for an off-world colony project ....
