Objectives, SOLs

While running late to the opening night of one of his plays at The Globe, William Shakespeare slipped in a mud puddle. Banging his head on a rock, Shakespeare falls unconscious. When he wakes, Shakespeare is mortified; not only is he late for opening night, but he can’t remember what play it was. Shakespeare begins to panic. He can’t remember any of his plays!

“Romeo and…Othello? No, no that’s not right. Much Ado about Caesar? Oh no!” cries Shakespeare.

Please, you’ve got to help! As you can see, William Shakespeare has clearly lost his marbles. Before he can go to opening night at the Globe, we have to help Shakespeare collect his plays’ scripts and learn about his life so that no one suspects a thing. You will need to gather 4 Scripts from Shakespearean fans and fellow Globe actors located around the city. Once you’ve collected 4 you have to make your way back to The Globe and to William Shakespeare. Hurry, before he misses his play!

* The goal of the game is to collect 4 Scripts by William Shakespeare to return to him at The Globe.

* To play the game you have to roll the dice to leave The Globe. Choose the direction you wish to move in. When you land in a spot it will have a color and number which correlates to a specific question ; if you answer the question correctly you are able to roll again. If you get it incorrect you must stay in that spot till you successfully answer the correlating question. There are two “horse carriages” that can be used to get a free ride to any of the 4 Scripts without having to roll or answer questions.

* To win the game you have to collect all 4 Shakespearean Scripts and begin making your way back to the center of the map, The Globe. Once on the path to the Globe, you must roll the exact amount in order to enter and WIN!.
