Are you ready for a crash course in college life? Achieving success in college is, no doubt, an intellectual feat, but it’s not just smarts that earn that coveted diploma.

 Success in college also involves understanding its hidden curriculum, aka the rules of the game of how to 'do college' so that you do not feel 'done in by college'. Many students only learn this curriculum by trial and error, which can be incredibly costly in a high-stakes environment when you are paying tuition and fees. 

This video game offers players a low-stakes, fun opportunity to learn college success strategies and, ultimately, equip them with the knowledge and skills they need to not only finish but thrive in college.

Within the first five minutes of gameplay, players learn how to navigate campus through a campus orientation tutorial. This orientation will take players on a tour of their course schedule as well as key locations on campus such as their dorm, the library, and the lake. Players will then begin their first week of class with  opportunities to meet new friends and get involved in the campus community, all while trying to maintain balance across life’s competing demands.
