Sample note: //Expedition Working Hard 05 July 2009 48.17.06S 73.30.53W// //Unfortunately we haven't been able to move forward over the last 2 days and remain camped at 48.17.06S 73.30.53W.

We have been working hard hauling heavy loads across the rock and ice to our existing campsite. This process has been hampered by ongoing rain and wet conditions.

Despite this the team is healthy and feel we are going extremely well.

The current average temperature remains at 5 degrees with little wind and generally very misty conditions.

You need to include details in your game. You can be creative and have rooms which show things that could have happened but didn't! This might form a part of your game where players have to determine which rooms are 'real' accounts of Linda's journey and which aren't. It could be like a puzzle.

Your work will be published for other people to play.

Use the design templates provided in this wiki to help you to develop your game. The game you design here could be your entry in the 'screen it' competition which closes on the 9th of September.

This is a game created by Jorja about Linda Beilharz. It might give you some ideas but remember that this was created before she actually began her journey so might not be factual.

Here is another game by Callum.

This is a game that is based on some work done in relation to Linda Beilharz.
