Minecraft: Story Mode

Price: Android - Free iPhone/iPad - Free

Teacher Overview

Minecraft: Story Mode is a downloadable episodic adventure game, whose story will be complete when the fifth chapter is available. This also is an extension and embellishment of the preexisting Minecraft game, which is basically Legos on a computer.

Teacher Review

In MINECRAFT: STORY MODE, you play as Jesse , who can be either male or female on the day of EnderCon, a sort of meta-Minecraft competition within the Minecraft world. If that sounds confusing, basically what it means is you join your friends while en route to build the best possible contraption at a contest that kicks off a big festival for the town. While you're building, a fire breaks out in the area, sending your pet pig squealing off into the woods. You track him down and begin to make a series of discoveries that unveil some dark secrets about your town's history. 
 
Strong messages about collaboration, friendship, especially with regard to giving people benefit of the doubt, ignoring rumors about individuals. Focus is on bonding with teammates, being strategically diplomatic within your traveling party, with whom you won't always see eye to eye.
