Students will be required to have completed at least 1 or more of my Escape Room games, to ensure that they are familiar with the style of games and how they are used from a player perspective.
Using Ronald Dahls’ book “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” as our base setting, we will build a related story line and use this plot to create a series of puzzles linked to the theme. Students are expected to be familiar with the story, and ideally have watched the original 1971 movie “Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” or read the book.
Students will explore developing alternative story lines, ensuring consistency of the story elements.
