What is everyone’s theme this year? Are you sticking with the same world or theme you’ve used before, tweaking it, or completely changing things up? Last year, I only gamified Social Studies, so my theme was explorers. This year I’m taking the plunge and gamifying the whole year, so I’ve switched things up completely and we’re heading to space!

Greetings! If you were to build your own "Village of Ultima Examen," what is one tech-free puzzle, roaming NPC, or secret side quest you would hide in your realm for your students to discover? Or, how do you plan to theme the narrative of your written "Final Boss Battle"? Share your best End Game ideas below! ⤵️

After exploring the Glitchwoods, a number of different ideas, tips and tricks were introduced. This one is an easy one ... what stood out? Was there one that you want to try more than others? Any thoughts on them? Ideas of ways you would implement one, or more, of them? Would love to hear what you think!

Welcome to the Blacksmith Shop 👋🏻 In this area, you can post any questions or issues regarding materials, links, graphics, or anything else that isn't working properly. Please understand, especially if you are an early joiner, that I am trying to build a very engaging and fun community. I am learning—more or less teaching myself—how to do all of this by creating graphics, apps, quizzes, puzzles, password-protected files, and so on. With all that in mind, there are bound to be an error or two. Posting them here will allow me to troubleshoot them ASAP so everything can run smoothly for everyone! Thanks! -Master Heebs ✒️
