FORGOTTEN TRAIL
After learning how their Ojibwe ancestors walked half-way across the continent, Angie and Sam decide it would be an adventure to follow in their footsteps. No one believes a couple of ordinary teenagers can make it a thousand miles. At each level, there is a new game – canoeing down river to meet an uncle who can help them, scavenging in the woods and avoiding the rabid skunks, making it through a maze set up by yet another crazy relative who has a map.
We fit in the cultural part through stories and flashbacks. If the player comes across an artifact in the woods, say, a half-buried tomahawk, then a video will play telling the story of a famous chief who owned this tomahawk and what his life was like when he dropped it there. Recommended Grades 5-7.
Runs on Mac, Windows or Chromebook in any browser. No download required.
You can get the first five levels for an introductory price of $5. All future levels and upgrades are yours for free.
SPIRIT LAKE: THE GAME

Mathematics focus on multiplication and division, with a bit of geometry and probability. In two rounds of efficacy testing, kids who played Spirit Lake: The Game for just eight weeks saw their math scores improve 300 percent! Recommended Grades 3-5.
Runs on Mac or Windows.
