Lesson 1: Lure of the Labyrinth Tutorial

Lure of the Labyrinth is a middle school/high school free math program for educators and students. I chose to focus on the game because most of my students are experienced gamers. The objective of this game is for players to navigate their way through the Tasti Pet Factory solving various algebraic puzzles, eliminating puzzle rooms, and accumulating game tokens that they use to buy items and release captured pets.

The game contains a global user interface combined with graphic novel sequences. Students can use the TPC (Tasti Pet Communicator) during the game to collaborate with teammates. Teachers are able to track data while students are playing the game. Teachers can also monitor work performances, puzzle attempts, and TPC chat communications.

Playing this game is a very open-ended experience, in which students are rewarded for exploring, taking chances, and using the scientific method in their efforts to accumulate points, free pets, and eventually win the game.
