THE STORY ROUTE

What players actually do

Each result becomes a clue for the next checkpoint. The full answers stay in the Teacher Guide.

01
Read the ticket
Compare symbol counts to identify a gallery.
Leads to: A gallery name
02
Follow the route
Use that gallery's floor-plan directions.
Leads to: A display case
03
Identify the object
Share role records to match one invented artifact.
Leads to: An object name
04
Restore the label
Choose the fictional description that belongs to it.
Leads to: A label code
05
Open the exhibit
Check gallery, case, object and label together.
Leads to: A corrected display sheet

WHY CHOOSE THIS ONE

What makes this story different

The floor plan, object inventory and label record are separate evidence sources.

A fictional exhibit avoids unsupported claims about real cultures or artifacts.

Students must explain why one complete display sheet fits the evidence.

BEFORE YOU PLAY

Simple paper setup

Print the Player Pack for your groups and read the Teacher Guide first. Ordinary paper and pens are enough to begin. Where cards have borders, the adult can cut them apart or keep them on the original page for players to compare and mark.

A teacher guides each checkpoint, distributes role clues and checks the group’s conclusion. No special equipment or digital account is needed by children.

Current PDF pages7 Player Pack pages + 7 Teacher Guide pages in each paper size (v0.1 file set).

Copies to preparePrint one complete Player Pack per playing group and keep one Teacher Guide for the adult. Use the same A4 or US Letter size for both files.

TimingPreparation and play time will be added after physical print and real-group checks.

These are PDF page counts, not a final printer-sheet promise. Check the files before you print for a group.
