While Edublogs was down this weekend, I was able to get some adventure gaming done, for some activity inspiration.
This is an online murder mystery party. It’s really quite funny, especially when you really get into character. I’m playing a game called Waiting for version 8, which centers around the death of a computer moguls death. There are four players – The Femme Fatale ex wife Bewinda ‘Black Widow’ Bates (!) aka Me, The Rival (works for Orange), The Son, The Annoyed Employee. It is played across functionality similar to forums, and each player has a list of facts they have to establish about themselves, and a list of facts they need to get other people to confess to. Once all the facts have been established, all players can vote to move to the next scene. We’re currently 94% complete, so we need one last push, to end the game, and accuse a character. The fact you can rate your fellow players is quite good, I had two 3’s (ie ‘meh’) and one 5 (ie wicked). Was chuffed about that, I can tell you. I’ll keep you posted on how that pans out.
