Game With Cut Scenes (Minor Project 5 Option 4)

Kingdom Hearts

The Kingdom Hearts games combine Final Fantasy and Disney characters all in one amazing adventure game. The game features a very large amount of cutscenes, typically playing after each major (or sometimes even minor) event occurs in the game. Whenever you arrive at a new world, whenever you first encounter a new Disney character, whenever you face/defeat a boss, constant flashbacks, and more cutscenes are included throughout this game. The cutscenes are fun to watch and explain a lot about the storyline and help the players understand the back story as well as what's to come in the future.

Overview

This game will be played just like the original game of manhunt. All of the same rules apply, except the “extreme” addition will introduce a point system. Since the main objective of the game is for the seekers to get the hiders into jail, there will be points incorporated into the game based on how long players are held in jail. For each minute a player is in jail, 1 point will be rewarded to the seeking team. The point system makes the game more competitive and fast paced.

Why Are We Making This Game?

Manhunt is a fun game to casually play with your friends during your childhood. However, there is no real competition or something for each team to play for. By introducing points into the game, players actually have an objective to shoot for, which is obviously to get the most points by the end of both rounds.

Having the most points leads to a victory, which means the seekers be more aware of the players in jail and try their best to keep as many people in jail as possible. Hiders will also be doing their best to find the best of hiding spots in order to stay out of jail for as long as possible. Hiders will also have to heavily rely on getting their teammates out of jail so the opposing team doesn’t rack up points.

Walk Us Through the Game!

Extreme Manhunt is played just like regular manhunt. The players are evenly divided into two teams. One team starts as the seekers, and the other team starts as the hiders. The hiders are given 1-2 minutes to hide around the playing vicinity, typically held outdoors (and at night time). The seekers are then free to search for the hiders. Once a hider is found, he is free to run about the playing area. Once a hider is tagged, they are sent to a pre-determined “jail” area.

A hider that is placed in jail must count how long they are in there for. For every minute they are in jail, the seeking team receives one point. Another member of the hiding team who is not already in jail may tag a hiding member in jail to free them. The round ends after 10-15 minutes (pre-determined). The players then switch sides, and play another round. The team who received the most points as the seekers wins the game!

Card Questions: Manhunt (Minor Project 4 Option 4)

Question 1: What are the challenges in manhunt?

The main challenges in manhunt are the main roles of each team. For the hiding team, the challenge is to find the best hiding spot(s) within the playing field. For the hunting team, the challenge is to use stealth and cunning in order to find the hiders as quickly as possible.

Question 2: Are the challenges too easy, too hard, or just right?

I believe that the challenges are just about right. They can vary, however, depending on the skills of the players and the surrounding environment in which the players are playing in. For example, an area with lots of places to hide such as the woods or a forest will make the challenges a lot easier for the hiding team and a lot harder for the seeking team.

Question 3: Can the challenges accommodate a wide variety of skill levels?

As described in the previous answer, various skill levels are able to play in this game, but it may result int he game being one sided. Since both teams take turns being the hiding team and the seeking team, however, the players must be skilled in both roles in order to prosper when they are faced with the challenges.
