Multipoly presents the multinational accountancy and consultancy firm PricewaterhouseCoopers operating in Hungary. Players of the virtual reality participate the online world of PwC as trainees, working for a year at the company.

The duration of the traineeship is modelled in 12 game days, practically equalling twelve virtual months. The one year professional traineeship is divided in four quarters, with different objectives defined for the players in each quarter. They must attend trainings, join a community, negotiate with clients, and solve numerous exciting tasks.

The main venue of the game is the head office building of PwC and its different offices and premises. There are other external venues, such as conference rooms and recreational facilities, such as restaurants, cultural and sports centres. Players have to visit these different venues to face lifelike situations and decide which one will they participate in. In these situations they solve tasks that measure their professional knowledge and other skills. The tasks contain questions to answer, and these are related to professional and general knowledge, logical skills and information about PwC. By solving the tasks and answering the questions, the players receive points. To enhance the accuracy of the simulation, in addition to selected situation, unexpected events also take place.
