Hi, about a month ago we were supposed to read a book and make either a children’s book, board game, podcast or YouTube channel about our book. I chose to make a board game because I wanted to play the board game with my family and I thought it would be more fun to make. My book is called “Camp Murderface”. It is about a girl and a boy named Corryen and Tez who went to a sleep away camp. But the sleep away camp wasn’t an ordinary sleep away camp. It was haunted and most of the camp made an agreement to kill Corryen and Tez. These two characters had to overcome a series of obstacles in order to survive. The theme of my board game is “loyalty to friends helps overcome adversity”.
If I was going through this process again, I would choose to finish my book before I started my board game. I would also choose to plan out my board game a little more.
My board game is a mix of Clue and Candyland.
How you play:
The goal of this game is to find who killed Braids and find what is in the question holder.
You are going to mix up the cards and put one of the cards in the question holder (without looking). Along the way you will get clues to what the card is in the holder. Once you have your clues you will check it off on your list. Let’s say you got the clue “Bowl Cut” you will check that off your list so you know that’s not in the holder. When you’re at the end go back to the start. It is not about going to the end first, it’s about guessing what is in the holder. If you guess wrong you’re out, but if you guess right you win. Remember to not show your clues.
The elements of the book that I incorporated into my game was that I put the conflict and the charecters. How I did that was because the conflict was the big fight on killing this person that started this. So what I did was I put for the goal of the game is to find out who killed Braids. (She is a charecter in the book).
The charecters that I included in my board game were:
- Bowl cut
- Braids
- Ew
- Corryen
- Tez
- Mrs Winchelhiser
- Old lifeguard
- Orn
How I incorporated the setting of my novel into my game was that because for some times the setting was skulls in fire I wrote that down in my board game and made it one of my pieces.
The pictures or images that i chose to include were bowl cut because he tried to kill Tez in the forest and skulls in fire because that is how they knew what was going on in the camp.
These are all the cards I chose to incorporate in my board game:
- Bowl cut
- Braids
- Ew
- Corryen
- Tez
- Mrs Winchelhiser
- Old lifeguard
- Orn
- Sand
- Lake
- Library
- Orange towel
- Eliot
- Skull in fire
this is my board game:
