Create your own Breakout EDU Challenge around spreadsheets

You need to create a game that is going to challenge the other class with their knowledge of spreadsheets.

On December 11th the other Year 7 class will play the game that you have created.

Decide as a class the story of the game.
Split the class into five groups.
Decide as a class what the five challenges are going to be.
In your group create a challenge to open each of the padlocks on the Breakout EDU box.
Remember you need to work as a class and decide if the game is going to be linear or non linear.

Linear Game

In a linear game you need to solve each problem in order.

So some problems will not be solvable until the previous problems are solved.

Non-Linear Game

The problems can be solved in any order, but you may have elements like 'Caught in the Code' where one problem can't be solved until another is complete.

You have three weeks to complete the game as a class

Your Game must:

Be about Spreadsheets

Have a storyline

Be able to complete in 40 minutes
