A 2021 version of gaming challenge! 3 difficulties with 7 groups with 10 missions. Everyone will find an interesting category to explore. I corrected a few missions and added completely new category for Expert: “Video Game Culture and Community”. As a formality I’m reposting the instruction: **HOW TO JOIN:** > **[Grouvee Challenge 2021](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1350UM3kRi5ci9RbHLptJWT6MgwVaZiBywEgKaAbcFRI/edit?usp=sharing)** > > Sheet1 > > TIER 1 - NOVICE,TIER 2 - INTERMEDIATE,TIER 3 - EXPERT > Game Elements,Game Experience,Behind the scenes > Number,CATEGORY,GAME,Number,CATEGORY,GAME,Number,CATEGORY,GAME,EXPLANATION > Group 1,THE GENRE,Group 1,MY GAME IS GOOD FOR MY HEALTH,Group... - To begin, make a copy of the spreadsheet to your own Google Drive - Choose File \> Make a copy \> My Drive - In your file choose SHARE button and change to “anyone with the link can view” - Create New Topic here in the “Grouvee Challenge” category. - Paste the link of your personalized spreadsheet in text of the first post. - Next time you beat the game add it to spreadsheet and make a post in your topic. - Leaving a few words about your experience would be nice 🙂 - Feel free to talk about other participants’ progress. - Color code your game titles, green for completed, red for playing, gray for want to play. Also feel free to ask for recommendations for games if a category has you stumped! **Some rules!** - Games must be played between January 1 and December 31 of 2020. - Each game can only be used once. - You need to finish the game, but you don’t have to 100% it. - If game doesn’t have “main story”, play at least 3 hours (simulations, MMO’s, etc) This year there are 3 tiers, each containing 7 groups of 10 quests. Tier 1 “Game Elements” gives you insight into the aesthetics of game art and storytelling. It forces you to try a wide range of games & to break your habits. Tier 2 “Game Experience” is about subjective nature of play. Feel free to interpret the quests instead of looking for “correct answers”. Tier 3 “Behind the scenes” is about video game industry - you will need to do some research with uncle Google. When you begin, choose between two “game modes”. Diffculty levels are based on number of games played. **CLASSIC MODE** Choose any group that suits you. Feel free to edit your list, but remember that the challenge is about discovering! - Casual - Complete two group - Easy - Complete four groups - Medium - Complete six groups - Hard - Complete eight groups - Extreme - Complete ten groups… or more! **TIER MODE** You need to beat previous difficulty to move to next! For example to finish Challenge on Medium you need to beat two Tier 1 and Tier 2 groups before beating additional 1x T1 and T2 groups. - Casual ------- Complete 2x Tier 1 group - Easy ---------- Complete 2x Tier 1 group & 2x Tier 2 group - Medium ----- Complete 3x Tier 1 group & 3x Tier 2 group - Hard ---------- Complete 3x Tier 1 group & 3x Tier 2 group & 2x Tier 3 group - Extreme ----- Complete 3x Tier 1 group & 4x Tier 2 group & 3x Tier 3 group … or more! Feel free to ask questions here if you have any! ---
