The Great War – “Over the Top Adventure



The Great War – “Over the Top Adventure!”

NAME: ____________________________________

“Over the Top” is an interactive adventure which allows you to experience life in the trenches during the First World War.

Once you have begun the W.W.1 trench warfare simulation, you will be asked to state your name and city (town). You will also be asked to give the name of a friend, who will appear as a character in the simulation.

As you go through the adventure, you will be given different situations to choose from and decisions to make that could either extend your life in the trenches or lead to your ultimate death. Once you have finished your adventure, you may go back and start it again, this time, choosing different options that may result in a different outcome for you (hopefully survival!).
