Inside Dandy’s World Exploring Games, Stories & Imagination

Inside Dandy’s World: Exploring Games, Stories & Imagination

Pathfinders begin by exploring what they can see — including characters, settings, and story elements — before moving into how players interact with the game through choices, challenges, and goals. They then investigate how games work behind the scenes, focusing on rules, systems, and how digital tools are used to create interactive experiences.
