How it Started: While NPBid is temporarily shut down, our group decided to start a new project. Mr. Large gave us the idea to do it. We were hesitant at first, but we ran with the idea when we were on board. The BreakoutBox is a game where students have to solve clues and break locks in order to get into the large wooden box. The age groups range from 1st grade to full grown adults. It can be a lot of fun and can improve team building and critical thinking skills. This game was done a few years ago by other students in this class, but we hope we can do it just as well if not better than the group before us.
Starting Steps of Our Game: First off, we needed people to play our game. We talked to Katy Eastes, the principle of NPE, and she talked to all of the 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade teachers at the school. We had a great response, as around 7 teachers asked for us to play our game with their class! We were happy to get such as great response, but we knew that we needed to make the game great, fun, and make it educational and beneficial for the kids. We started off going to Breakoutedu.com, which is the website the BreakoutBox uses, and we played some of their online games. We did that to see what they did and how they played it, so we could base our game around how they do theirs. We think our game will be educational but very fun fir the kids. Our BreakoutBox Game: For our game, we decided to base it around team building and basic math skills. We have around 6 locks, so we need around 6 clues, which is 1 for each lock. Some of the locks have numbers, some have letters, and one even has directions. We each decided to work on a clue, and we put all of our ideas on this document. For my clue, I am using basic math skills and using scrambled letters for them to solve. I feel like it will be fun for them to solve but they will also have to work to find the correct answer. Overall, all our clues make it fun for the kids to solve, but also makes it educational for them. We are very excited about this project and what we can do with it this year,
