Video Game

People all over the world enjoy video games. Video games allow us to laugh, learn, and compete. Video games let us pretend to be different characters while visiting other worlds. Now it’s your turn to use your ingenuity and creativity to create your own video game adventure! Your team will get to design the characters, including one Adventurer with a Special Ability who is on a quest for the Ultimate Prize.

Tool

From armor, coins, capes, and costumes to mounts and secret passageways, video games require tools to help you on your journey. Your Adventurer will collect items that will be used to create a tool that helps them on their quest.

Adventurer’s Special Ability
