Crystal Island: Uncharted Discovery

Crystal Island: Uncharted Discovery is an educational video game created by a team of educators and computer scientists[1] at the Center for Educational Informatics[2] aimed at teaching students upper elementary science education, focusing on landforms, navigation, and modeling.[3] In the game, students play as shipwrecked adventurers on a volcanic island. To escape the island, they must complete a series of quests that test their critical thinking skills and teach them content-related information. Upon completion of the quests, the players gain access to a new area of the island which contains a multi-skill quest that requires students to use the knowledge and skills they learned during the previous quests. Once the final quest is completed, the players gain access to a communication device which allows them to call the outside world for rescue.[1] The game was made with the Unity game engine.[4] It was made by the same creators of the game Crystal Island: Lost Investigation.
