  • You are playing video games one day when the TV in front of you starts to get blurry and you feel yourself getting dizzy. . .

  • Image field 66
  • You wake up to find yourself in a long hallway with a door at the other end.

    You hear a voice say, "Welcome to the video game challenge! Do you have what it takes to get through all 7 levels? Make a mistake and it is game over. You will respawn at the most recent level to be able to try again. Good Luck!"

    You walk forward to enter the first level. . .

  • Level One

    Oh you have played a game like this before! You just need to jump over the obstacles to get to the door on the other side. It looks like the grid at the bottom will help you decide when to jump.

  • Image field 17
  • You did it!

    Jumping at the spaces M A R I O ! will get you to the door and through the level.

  • Level Two

    This is a puzzle level. You need to figure out how to connect the dots on the grid without the lines overlapping and filling all of the empty grid spaces. It looks like the green dots have already been connected for you.

  • Well Done! 

    Another level has been completed.

  • Level Three

    You see a blue blur beside you and realize you are in a racing level! There is no way you can run as fast as your spiky blue opponent so you better find the shortest path to the finish line instead.

  • Image field 22
  • Great Job! You crossed the finish line just moments before your opponent. Good thing you figured out the shortest path!

  • Level Four

    This level looks like one of those single player video games where you work to collect things and complete challenges to beat the game. You need to find all of the stars hidden in the level to be able to move on to the next one.

  • Image field 24
  • Perfect! 11 stars were hidden and you found them all!

  • Level Five

    Hmmmm. . . This might be an old school puzzle game. How quickly can you solve the puzzle to answer the question and get to the next level?

    **Be sure to reset the puzzle when you are done so you don't give the answer away to the next player!**

  • Way to go! Another level completed!

  • Level Six

    This is a building game. You can see the door but it is much too high to be able to reach. You will have to use the green blocks scattered on the ground to build stairs up to the door. Don't forget that you need to support the next stair with a block underneath.

  • Image field 28
  • Image field 74
  • Awesome building skills! Only one level left!

  • Level Seven

    It looks like your last level is a battle game. You have 3 creatures to help you fight. But which one do you send against your opponent's electric type creature? Perhaps your battle cards can help you figure out your best attack.

  • Image field 54
  • Winner!

    You won the battle and have beat all seven levels of the video game challenge.

    All of a sudden, you start to feel dizzy again and the level gets blurry. . .

  • Image field 61
  • Uh oh! You better go back and try again.

  • You wake up to find yourself in the same room you started in.

    "Congratulations! You are true video game master. You may proceed through the door to find yourself home again once more."
