GamingDRV - Gamify your Teaching and Training with Route Runner

Route Runner is an absolute blast! Solve challenges and find the right answers to win tiles and build a road. Who will be the first team to reach the other side of the road? But watch out! Special tiles might hinder your road construction.  How will you overcome these obstacles?

By introducing game elements like team challenges and friendly competition, learners become more invested in the learning process. Playing in teams improves peer-learning, collaboration, and communication skills among your learners. Route Runner is an amazing mix of strategy, knowledge, and skills-based content that you can tailor to your needs.

This could be designed in a Blockbuster-style game where your learners solve challenges to reach the other side. The game's element of chance and its backend development with a flow theory approach will help both teams play on an even playing field, regardless of their knowledge levels.

The trainer can also work with a timer, creating a sense of urgency and excitement for the learners. This game is an amazing way to review and reinforce information and learning content with your learners in an engaging and communicative way, whether you’re in a face-to-face class or a virtual classroom.

You can customize all the questions and challenges or tasks to fit your training and teaching needs, which is great because it means you can make it your own! It's amazingly simple to integrate Route Runner into your existing curriculum.

The best part? It's an OER, free of charge, and doesn't collect any data! Plus, a handy manual will walk you through all the ins and outs of the game.
