Toxic Valley as an iPad Game, Final Ideas

     Transforming our Game Design's group game, Toxic Valley into a digital game for the iPad is a little more challenging than building the actual board game, although I think this version will be just as fun! I want the iPad game of Toxic Valley to be a one player game with rewards after each level, and and even bigger reward at the end of the game. I also am going to incorporate physical elements utilizing some of the iPad's touch and movement features. All of the same watershed trivia will remain, as well as some other features of the board game. 
      I want to call the game, Toxic to Terrific, the iPad version of Toxic Valley. The game starts out with the player choosing either a male or female environmentalist avatar. After you choose your avatar and enter your name, you then have the option of reading the directions, viewing a tutorial of the game or both or skipping to play the game. 
     The rules of the game are as follows: The player's avatar has to make it through Toxic Valley from the mountains, to the forest, farm, city, all the way to the winning location, the purification center. The player's goal is to answer a series of questions correctly within each of those categories making sure they don't get any toxic tokens. There will be 10 questions per category. If you get a question wrong you get a toxic token. If you get three or more toxic tokens per level, you must start the level over. (The questions will be randomly selected for each level and there will be different questions for each time the game is played.) If you answer all of the questions correctly you move on to the next level and receive a star as your reward, thus moving you forward to the purification center. Once you get to the purification center, you earn a plaque with your name on it that you have made the Valley's watershed cleaner.

     Also, you have three chances for help throughout the whole game if you are stuck on a question. The game will give you the option of asking another environmentalist for help first, second, the player can guess the answer through hangman style, or third, the player can use the internet using google.
   Movement for the playing of the game- Use finger to move your avatar throughout the game,  you should stop once you get to a question. For example, if you are in the mountains level and you run into sludge from mountaintop removal coal mining, you would try to answer the question. These places will be called "Tox spots."  
   Then, after reading the directions it will go to a screen that has written information and a short video representing Toxic Valley about the importance of keeping the watershed clean after reading and or viewing how to play the game.
