Play To Learn Part 1


What kind of ideas did you get for your own game?
Ideas that came to me when I was playing these games was adding clues for the people to find the hidden objects. The game that I liked was the best of all the games because i actually learned something from the game . It was also hard but the clues helped me out in finding the missing wonders of the world .
If i was to make a hidden game I would have them find clues and then let them find the final thing . Things that I learned from this game were mostly things I already knew  . The game that did teach me a little was the Hidden wonders game because it showed me where some of the hidden wonders were . Some  other ideas I got for my game was making my hidden object game in a river becasue know I have a example that showes me how a river looks like .
