*** Anyone and everyone, feel free to answer!!! :-) Happy New Year! ***  
  
We are looking for content on our site (MyAdventureGame.com) and       
figured, who better than the talented writers and researches at GA to       
help us with this task! MyAdventureGame.com is the source for playing,       
creating, and sharing "choose-your-own-adventure"-style games.  For       
more information on the web-site, please read the Frequently Asked       
Questions.       
        
Answering this question should be fun and challenging.  Before you       
begin, please make sure that you are up for the task ... this question       
certainly is not for everyone.  If making a game on our website sounds       
is something you WOULDN'T do in your spare time, then this question       
may NOT be for you.       
         
The Question:         
Go to our website (http://MyAdventureGame.com), create an account (or       
use your existing account), and make a game which that is both       
interesting and educational.  The main idea behind this game is that       
you have fun playing it and walk away learning something.       
         
The game needs to deal with history, mythology, or some educational  
social science, but nothing to analytical (math, programming, etc)  
This game also must have at least 30 pages with at least 10 different   
pictures spread throughout the game.  These pictures should have some   
relevance to the page they are on and can be photographs, illustrations,   
or animated GIFs -- whatever you deem appropriate.  Remember, the system   
allows only one picture per page. Also, more pictures add to the game, and   
good games  get great tips!       
         
Most good games have most pages with 100-150 words, but that’s just a       
rule of thumb.  Pages too short don't get the player in the story,       
pages too long remove interactivity.  This game must feel interactive.       
         
The history, mythology, or paranormal/supernatural references need to      
be accurate.  Your game shouldn't read like a textbook (remember, it      
should be fun) but at the same time shouldn't contain inaccuracies      
(such as Thor being one of the Greek Gods, for example).

Unfortunately, there very limited, if any, instructions available.  We       
have, however, tried to make the game editor as easy to use as       
possible.  Assuming you have an up-to-date internet browser (IE4+,       
NS4+), there will be Pop-Up help on many of the buttons on the       
website.  If you have any specific questions about it, we would be       
more than happy to answer them for you.       
        
**** IMPORTANT GAME TIP ****        
Also note, it is important to have a good idea of the Start and End of       
your game before creating it on the website.  Planning before hand       
will not only save time but will create a much better end product.        
You will thank yourself later if you do this.       
         
We apologize for the novella of a question here, but we wanted to make       
things clear.  Please do not hesitate to ask for clarification or to       
emai.  We can be reached by emailing info(at)MyAdventureGame.com.        
We really look forward to experiencing your game!!!      
         
Don't forget, the game will be eligible for the $100 contest (see the       
website) and we tip (fairly well) for a job well done.       
         
Again thanks in advance.
