Detailed Project Description
Board Game: Space Explorer
The game “Space Explorer” is an interactive, strategic game that helps players “learn and share” knowledge about space. Game consists of a minimum of 4 participants. There are playing cards of different subjects, such as: Planets, Galaxies, Constellations etc.
The main goal of Board game is to teach new players more about space exploration. There are different topics:
- Space
- Planets
- Arrangement of planets in space and their specifications
- Celestial bodies
- Constellations
- Galaxies
There are different steps that players have to overcome during the game. On the first side of the cards there are subjects and on the second side there are questions about the subject. Player chooses the card and answers the question. In case of the right answer the player makes one step forward on the map, and in case of wrong answer, the player stays in the current position. Player who reaches the finish first, is the winner.
The first prototype of the game space explorer is a board game, however it can be easily transformed into Web- Game or Mobile Application. There is a little book about space included in a game. Using a book Players can get more information about each subject written above and use it in the game.

Our team used some of the information to develop our project. The information taken from the links above will be used for the informative book which is essential for our game.
Hackathon Journey
Hackathon taught me how to develop creative ideas. In this case my team used the idea given in the challenge- Board Game. At first we didn't know what to create/ how to create but then in hard working, difficult process we developed new, creative ways to visualize our game and make it clear for others.
