The Race to Justice

1. CIVICS GAME CONCEPT

Our game is called "The Race To Justice." Our game is educational because we have included civil law questions in it. We have created this game for young elementry kids and hope that it succeeds. At the end of the game, you will have a case to solve, it will be about some of the questions through the game. The characters in the game include a lawyer, a client, and the client's neighbor. The lawyer has to drive to the courthouse to solve a case when his client's yard has been trashed by his neighbor. In the game, you will navigate the lawyer's car through the obstacles throughout the game. You will have multiple levels to complete before you get to the final case. If you complete the case, you win the game and can choosed to play again, but if you lose, you will have to try it again.

GAME PITCH

The Race to Justice

Team Introduction

We share our roles equally. Billy is the designer and sound person,and Kaitlyn is the one who makes the game educational. Kaitlyn puts the civics questions in the game by doing rersearch.

Learning Topic

Civil Law

Audience

We're designing our game for young children because we think that kids should learn this stuff at an early age.

Game Play

The players will see a car with obstacle course that you have to drive through without hitting the cones and barrels.Then the players will get to the courthouse and solve a case. The rules to our game: you must answer the question correctly or the police officers make you start over. To win, you have to go through 3 levels without getting a question wrong and you have to win the final case. The goal of our game is to teach students that you can have fun and learn at the same time because that is why most kids don't like to stay in school because sometimes it gets really boring.

Fun Factor

It's fun because when you race a car down the street, it will get the player so excited that they won't quite playing the game ,and where you dodge the barrels and cones, it gives you an adrenaline rush.

Smart Factor

Our game teaches you the civil law and what it is like when you get sued. Our game can teach you how to handle a case when you are in this situation.

Style Factor

We will have a lot of style in our game,it will have unique and original graphics. The sounds will probably be copied because they'll just be basic, like the sound of a car starting,or an engine roaring.

Originality Factor

It will sell because it will have obstacles that no one has thought about or put in their game.

PAPER PROTOTYPE

Date of Paper Prototype: October 2009
Has our final game changed? Yes, we were planning to have trees and cones as obstacles, but we just really don't know what happened to them. We where also going to put a timer in the game, but it was too hard for us, and our teacher even tried to help. My partner and I have tried to put everything that we can in the game, we also have tried every possible suggestion that people gave us during presentations and narrowing our topic assignments.

GAME IDEAS

Help from http://public.findlaw.com/library/legal-system/small-claims-types.html http://public.findlaw.com/library/legal-system/small-claims-fault.html Our game idea is that you will start out with a lawyer that has to drive to the court house and solve a case. You will have to navigate on the road by using the arrow keys. When they come to a stopsign, an educational civics question will pop up for the player to answer. The lawyer will have facts about his case on the way to court. If the player gets the question wrong, them they have to go back and try to answer it again. When they get it right, then they will accelorate to the next level.When you get to the court house, there will be a series of questions you have to answer to win the case.

NARROWING THE TOPIC

The Topic of Your Game: The topic of our game is citizenship.

Specific amendment/freedom/right/aspect of the journey/Cabinet member responsibilities you BOTH have decided to narrow your game to: The amendment our game fucuses on is the seventh amendment which is The Bill of Rights codifies the right to the jury trial.
