Milwaukee, Wisconsin – Today, Dr. Newell and the SimUnar Design Team announced the release of Auto King! It is the latest learning game in the Pyramid Genre game series. The game starts with a junior library assistant walking through a recently uncovered pyramid to help an archaeologist. While walking through the pyramid, the animated assistant tripped and released a trap. Now, gamers are trapped, with the assistant, in a tunnel outside of the ancient king’s chamber. They must reopen the chamber within 15 minutes. This is a dangerous quest! There are ancient books and an ancient scale within the tunnel. Using the items correctly will reopen the chamber. Using the items incorrectly will release another trap and lead to disaster!
Auto King is a single-player, arcade-style game. However, gamers work with an animated learning partner (Kress) during game-play. Learning partners guide learning and provide tips. Game-play is situated in a simulated underground pyramid. The game is recommended for intermediate learners (grades 3-4) that are actively building an understanding of biography and autobiography book characteristics. The game is designed to play on any internet-connected Chromebook, PC, Mac or tablet. Auto King is now ready for play on Library Arcade (libraryarcade.com)!
