Gen I Revolution

Each mission has a common format. Here is a brief list of mission steps, followed by a more detailed outline:

1.   Login and introduction, general briefing from Monique and optional tour.

2.   Mission selection from the Situation Map.

3.   Selection of operatives to form a team, then pushing Start Mission button.

4.   Profile Match questions (a handful of preliminary questions).

5.   Mission briefing from Monique, with opportunity to view the Player’s Guide.

6.   Working through tutorial information (“4-1-1,” as Monique refers to it), gaining points and knowledge. DO THIS!

• Click on the portable reading device to bring this up; this device can be found somewhere in each mission
• Or, access is always available through the Backpack on the Toolbar (more on the Toolbar, below)

7.   Answering credibility questions from other members of the team, gaining points and knowledge. DO THIS!

8.   Answering of Battle questions, gaining points and knowledge. DO THIS!

9.   Mission solution (final chance to win points). Notice that each mission has self-contained points and scoring. Scores are only kept within missions, not across missions. DO THIS!

Getting Points

You will get the highest scores from answering all the questions in a given mission, with more points assigned if they get questions right the first time. To get the highest score, you should:

(1) make sure they thoroughly explore each environment to get all the clues

(2) avoid guessing

(3) choose operatives with relevant skills, since they will have more Credibility Questions

(4) make sure to complete all of the Credibility Questions. 

There are Credibility Questions for each step of each mission. When an operative says, “I’m all out of questions for this step,” there are still questions remaining for later mission steps. This means that if you do the first part of the Battle but then moves directly to the second Battle sequence without doing the second set of Credibility Questions, points will be less than the maximum.

1.   You get Credibility Points by answering questions from mission operatives.

2.   You earn Knowledge Points during the 4-1-1 tutorials.

3.   You earn Battle Points during each mission’s Battle segment by correctly answering questions or solving a puzzle.

4.   At the end of each mission, points are assigned to those who Solve the Mission. You have only one opportunity to solve. If you score 80 percent or higher on the mission solution receive a promotion in rank. Note: You should be cautioned to work carefully in the Solve the Mission section. The points may be relatively small but rank promotions and Monique’s narrated feedback at the end of the mission will depend on these points alone.

5.   In addition to accumulating points, you may also spend them by borrowing Monique’s goggles or swapping operatives. Borrowing Monique’s goggles, when they become available in a mission, incurs a flat charge of 500 Knowledge Points. That is expensive, but Monique’s goggles will always offer valuable information, sometimes almost “giving away” the mission solution. As for swapping operatives, each operative has a point value of 200. A two-operative mission starts with 400 points and a three-operative mission starts with 600. If students swap an operative without having asked all available questions, they get a partial refund.

6.   Although Solve the Mission is the culminating activity of each mission, and Monique’s decision to promote an operative is based purely on your Solve the Mission answers
