Sleuth - Outcomes

high conceptobjectivegame structurecrime scenegraphicssoundsrequirements

There are a number of educational learning outcomes to this game, including:

  • promoting and improving spelling skills
  • increasing comprehension skills in:
    • reading to gather information
    • reading to validate information
  • applying reasoning and logic to:
    • classify, sort and refine information
    • solve a given problem

As an educator, for nearly two decades, I have seen many educational games provide an abundance of information for the users but, all too often, neglect to allow for the manipulation of that information other than with the mind.

Often the player is required to remember great quantities on data but, within the scope of the application, cannot "do" anything with it other than think about it.

As a result, players can become overwhelmed with the quantity of data and frustrated because they lack the means to do things they need to in order to help them progress.
