The task can be rather strange, absurd, cruel, or impracticable. The next week, the two players trade places. The only restriction is that the task should not be life-threatening or result in committing a crime. The outer world as well as the friends' inner lives change as the weeks go by.

Every day we find ourselves in a variety of situations and solve a multitude of issues, from renting an apartment in the center to finding a notary in Novobelychi — urban trends, tastes, prices, priorities, routes, the labor and real estate markets, the past, present, and future.
