Make Your Own History Game!!
Our game about Canadian History is missing something!
... YOU!
If there's one thing we've come to believe while making this game, it's that there is never only ONE version of history. Just as there are millions of Canadians who have helped to build this country there are millions of stories that tell the tale.
That's why we made a game where people can change the outcome and experience all the DYNAMICS of our history. But we could never hope to represent all of our peoples and all of our adventures. So, make your own Canadian history game!
If you're a teacher who wants to focus on a specific event or raise particular points, you can edit one of our scenarios or create your own from scratch. If you're a student who just can't get enough, then it might be time to try your hand under the hood! Or maybe you know a story that hasn't been fully represented in our version? There's no reason why you can't express your own ideas!
Don't forget to let us know if you dive into the world of making games! We want to hear from you in our community forums. And maybe someday we'll have a contest for the most interesting scenario!
