LO1 - Understand the scenario for unit5
LO2 - Be able to develop an idea for a suitable game for unit5

Scenario

The year is 2552. It has been 540 years since the Olympic Games were held in London. The Games have changed out of all recognition since 2012. Not only do competitors come from all over the globe but from the far reaches of the Galaxy. Events for these Olympic Games will take place on land, sea, in the air and in outer space.

You should use your imagination to design an original game based on a sporting event for the 2552 Olympics.

Task 2 - Game Overview

You must come up with an idea for your game

Complete the game overview (it should be in your development folder)
  • Target audience. Who is the intended audience for your game? Which age group (up to 14 years)? Girls and/or boys? Why have you chosen this audience? What are their interests? How do you know?
  • Event. What event will you choose? Explain your choice. Remember that it must be a sporting event suitable for the Olympics. 
  • Purpose/objective. What is the objective of your game? What does the player have to do to complete the game? Do they need to take part in heats or win points? How will you make each level more difficult? Is there a time limit?
  • PEGI rating. What will the Pan European Game Information (PEGI) rating be? Give reasons for your decision.

  • Teacher feedback. Record teacher feedback on your game overview, and any action taken.
  • Teacher feedback on moodboard. You must complete this section after you have produced a moodboard.

  • Email me (m.smith@wildern.hants.sch.uk) a copy of your completed Game Overview
