Made this for summer camp to teach up, down, left and right.

Give your students the blank map-grid with the first square/room filled in. Then in turns they can tell you to go up, down, left or right. They then fill in the map grid according to what they see in each room.

To finish the game they have to find four keys, and to find the keys they have to defeat four monsters, either by playing rock scissors paper against you or rolling odds or evens with a dice. If they win they get the key, if they lose then click the black box in the lower right hand corner to go back to the first room.

There are four word puzzle rooms. To start them click on the scroll timer at the side. If they figure out the word, click on the upper right hand corner to reveal the answer and move on. If they don't figure out the word before the timer runs out, click on the bottom right hand corner to send them back to the first room.

edit: in the 'title screen' ppt you'll need to change the hyperlink, so it points to v3 rather than v2.

awesome work!...gonna try it tomorrow.

Played it with my 6th graders yesterday and they went bloody mental over it!
Thank you so much!   

Glad you found it useful. I made the rooms in an old video game editor.

By dead end room, do you mean something like this?

Yeah. That's exactly what I was looking for.

Thank's for your help. I'll post the one I'm working on whenever I get a chance to finish it.

Which game editor did you use?

Unreal Tournament, the original one from 1999. If you can find a copy, the editor is easy enough to learn.

I made another game with that engine where the kids wear a blindfold and step onto a platform that floats over a chasm. In their way are dozens of floating boxes. If they hit a box they get knocked off the platform and fall into the chasm. The game is their friends have to tell them when to move left and right. I used Minecraft textures with that one so they'd think it was something new.

Wow I used to make levels on that when I was a teenager!

So you design the room then take a screenshot of it and import it into the ppt?

I actually made 1 for summer camp as well, but I settled on a slightly different design as I got driven insane with the number of animations I was having to do. I had a link from zelda animated gif running in and out of the rooms depending on what direction they wanted to go in, I just gave up on it though.

heh I was trying to go for a choose your own adventure type reading game like deathtrap dungeon or similar.  Weird how the design converged.

Thank you.

This is awesome. Nice work.

Thanks a bunch!  A friend told me about this and Zelda was exactly what popped into my head when  he was telling me.

One question:  What is the 8+ in the one room with the monster?
