2. The Challenge
To create a game to be played by
students which can act as a study aid.
We worked as a team of 4.
As the technical person on the team I
created the graphics.
8. Game Overview
The rules of the Brain Game are
structured in a way that players learn
as much as possible about the brain
by repetition and by co-operative
learning. As the first player completes
a round, they then share their
knowledge with the rest of the
players.
9. Game Overview continued
All four players must have completed the
round before the game can move up to the
next round, thereby encouraging co-
operation.
The questions are repetitive in
content, although they are asked in a
different way for each level:
10. The Questions
Three levels
1. Beginners-True or False,
2. Intermediate-Multiple Choice,
3. Advanced-Straight questions.
A player has completed a level when he/she
has answered a question correctly in all 8
sections.
11. When all the cards are gone from the centre of
the board, there’s a “clearing of the decks”
The person with the most cards begins by calling
out their spare questions; (i.e. if they have more
than one card in any section).
The player next in line to finish, gets first choice
to answer, and so on. When the first person has
cleared all their spare cards, the next player
clears their spare cards in the same way.
When everyone has gathered all of their cards,
all players move up to the next level.
14. The Game
This is a complex game – It takes 2-3hrs to
play. We developed 240 questions in total.
I really enjoyed working on the concept of the
game and developing the learning strategies.
