NIMH Game Project
We have recently finished reading the book Mrs. Frisby
and the Rats of NIMH by Robert C O’Brien.
Now that you are an expert on the book your task is to create a game
based on the book. There are a ton of
different types of games out there that you can base your game around. The main requirement is that your game be
skill based. The better someone knows
the book, they better they should do at the game.
Some examples of games that you may base yours around:
Some examples of games that you may base yours around:
Jeopardy: Use trivia questions in six different categories. Make the questions harder as the dollar or
point amount gets larger. You can do one
round or an entire game show with double jeopardy and final jeopardy. Have a way to set up your game board and make your
questions/answers organized and easy to find.
Board Game: There are different types of board games out there. You can make it with a beginning and an end like an adventure. You can make it endless with a final point system or goal to get to in order to win and end. Decorate your game board with images from the book to make it more exciting. Players need to answer trivia questions or some equivalent in order to proceed.
Video Game: If you know a lot about computer programs you can create a video game based on the book. Or you can make an interactive board game or jeopardy game that uses the computer!
3D Game: This is really just what your imagination comes up with. Maybe you win by completing some sort of structure. Maybe you lose by things falling apart. Some examples of 3D games are Mouse Trap, Jenga, Pick up Sticks, etc.
