Join forces with your friends and allies, to take on the challenge of Varden Witraven’s Yuletide Mystery! Styled like a massive escape room, filled with magical traps and puzzles, the kooky wizard has misplaced his bag this time, and needs help getting it back. Will you and your team be able to find it? Dungeons and Dragons is a collaborative role playing game in which players must work together, solve puzzles, and think critically. D&D requires some basic math skills, social interaction, and lots of imagination! As this adventure is for both beginner and experienced players, I will be providing some pre-made 1st level character options for the players to choose between. We will start the first session with introductions, a brief overview of D&D as a whole, choosing characters, and then we'll dive right into the game! The game will take place over the course of 2 hours and 45 minutes, with a 15-minute break roughly halfway through. Note: As this is a cooperative experience, there will be no PvP (player vs player) content, and no evil characters. This course requires a small amount of knowledge on how to play Dungeons and Dragons, but not much else. "Witraven's Yuletide Mystery" features several escape room type puzzles, and players will need to think a bit outside of the box to solve them. I created this one shot for friends of mine and have run it several times. Every time is a bunch of fun and it's very interesting to see how players interact with the puzzles featured.
Learning Goals
Students will hone in on social skills like teamwork and collective problem solving.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
Dungeons and Dragons games vary widely on content, and can go from zero mature content to vastly mature. While running any games on Outschool, I will be staying far from all mature stuff. It does involve violence, as D&D is known for combat as well as role-playing, but I won't be using any grotesque, visceral descriptions of things.
Supply List
While I will be supplying pre-made characters, it would be a good idea for each student (or household in the case of multiple participants) to have a copy of the Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition Player's Handbook. This is an incredible, all but essential resource for anyone looking to play and understand how to play D&D. It is also not required to have a set of D&D dice, as I am a proper dice goblin myself and can roll for players. However, it's never too early or late to start collecting the pretty math rocks!
