This document describes 3 mini-games created based on the book "The Tin Horse" by Janette Turner Hospital. The first game has the player help Tin escape after getting buried in a mudslide. The second has the player guide Tin through a maze to rescue Caffy who fell down a well. The third puts the player as Harper trying to escape from Tin in an underground labyrinth. Each game includes visuals of characters, objects, and quotes from the book to connect it to the story.
