TiGGR: Eurovision Song Contest

A TiGGR MicroScenario of Sequins, Sabotage, and State Secrets

TOUCHSTONE

A campy, high-stakes blend of Eurovision, Mission: Impossible, and The Fifth Element. Performance is power. Diplomacy wears sequins. Sabotage glitters.

SCENE

Backstage at the Eurovision Song Contest. 30 minutes before showtime. Holograms are glitching. Someone sabotaged a sound system. A delegate's dress has been stolen. You have just enough time to fix it—or let it burn.

GOAL (Choose or Discover):

• Stop the sabotage
• Rig the voting
• Expose the spy
• Save the show, no matter what

Enhancements:

Goal Interplay: Some goals may conflict (e.g., Exposing the spy could derail the show). Let players discover or choose their mission mid-play.
Hidden Agendas (GM Tip): The sabotage may be staged to frame a rival nation, or an insider might be trying to expose corruption.
Failure Consequences: If you fail to stop the sabotage, the act bombs on stage and tensions rise. Fail to save the show? Broadcast collapse leads to international scandal.

     Do you reroute (Mind 8) or disable the pyros (Body 8)?
   • The Moldovan green room smells like smoke.
