How does our game work?
A Journey with JWST is an educational 2D space game. It is story about a criminal who had escaped from the space jail and had stolen all of JWST's parts but the criminal was careless enough to drop a small golden piece of mirror. Players which have been known as the space detective, have been assigned to find back the stolen parts to reform JWST in order to capture the criminal.
Players have to go through a lot of thrilling obstacles to solve the mysteries of the stolen parts. Players can explore around the the map to get exclusive hints. Hints may include characteristics of the stolen parts, parts' functionings and many more.

Players get to expose more about the mysteries lying behind JWST while creating a positive learning environment about JWST. Aside from learning facts about JWST, our game allows players to sharpen their focusing and critical thinking skills.

Hackathon Journey
Throughout our Space Apps journey, everything during the Space Apps experience was challenging . Due to zero experience, we were confused on how to make a game, how to brainstorm ideas, and how to animate our game. But thanks to NASA for providing multiple workshops and useful informations on google/youtube. After a few workshops, researches and loads of discussions with the team, we manage to overcome the problems we had all faced. We were really amused when we attended the James Webb Telescope (JWST) workshop, and we find these information really underrated and James Webb Telescope's amazing capability surely does deserve more recognition to the public. We were really inspired and we wanted to share JWST's piece of information to the world, so we decided to share all information about JWST through our game. Thanks to NASA's resources and data, we get to use 100% of the information in our game. Through our game, players get to learn JWST's fascinating capabilities and performances in a positive learning platform while sharpening players thinking.
