GooseChase Game/Competition

We are going to complete a device based game/competition activity in class using goosechase. To win, you may have to look up some info, you may have to act, you may create, and more.

Rules:

    • You can leave class, but you must remain in the "B" building

      • If you abuse this privilege you will find yourself in trouble (eg. sleeping student)

    • Make sure you're not disrupting other classes

    • Be mindful of your noise level

    • Be respectful during the competition (responses and other teams)

    • Be creative in completing missions

    • Bogus submissions will be deleted

    • Be productive (limited time)

    • When the timer runs out, come back to class

Break into five (or less) even teams. Download the goosechase app and create an account. Each team can have up to five devices. I will give you a game code to join. One team member needs to create a team and then others will join using their code. Work as a team to complete missions to earn points and achieve world domination.
