Plan Game

• WHO are you designing your game for? (Include the player's age, abilities, and prior knowledge of your topic.) How will you make sure your game is not hurtful to any group of people? Our game is for anyone who wants to learn more about historical art. It is for really anyone as long as they can read.

• WHAT will your game teach the player about your topic? (Be specific!) During our game you will be required to match famous artists with their paintings. In order to do this you will be going through time to steal certain paintings. This will force you to learn which paintings belong to which artists.

• WHERE does your game happen? Our game will take place in multiple time periods. The times periods range all the back to the 1400's to present day. It will take place in whatever time period the painting was made in. The setting of each time period will show what that time period looked like then.

• HOW does your game world teach the player about your topic? The player with get to see how artists have used different techniques through out the years to make paintings. Since the player will have to figure out what painting goes with what artist, they will also have to figure out what time period that artist lived in. This has to be done in order for the player look for the painting in the correct time period. As the player learns about each artist and their paintings, the game will become easier because they will know what  painting they are looking for.

• WHY is a game a better way of understanding your topic than a quiz? A game is a better way of understanding than a quiz because games are more fun than quizzes. The player will be focused on trying to win game rather than trying to learn something, but the player will be actually learning about historical art without even knowing.
