Histo Adventures Tate & Friends

Our Game Our game is a scavenger hunt about history. We have 10 levels. Some levels are about inventors or creators and you find their inventions or creations. Other levels are just important events in our history. Each level is a different story with a different scenario. After each level there will be a a question based on the level and if you answer it correctly you get clothing for your character and/or money, if you get it wrong you don’t get clothing or money but you still pass the level.

Characters & Mulitiplayer There is two characters in our game, they don’t have names because the player can put their own names. Multiplayer is easier then single player because you work together to find the items but in multiplayer you get two questions instead of one and you have a time limit to answer the questions. These characters are not originals. Just ideas of what our characters would look like.
