What I liked about it was that we learned playfully the whole week. We didn’t have to attend any classes. The tasks, which we had to come up with, were good. Every day we went to good places. Class 6C was chosen.
When we had to make a bagplate because it was pretty difficult.
It was interesting, because at last we were allowed to use the devices we had learned about before. The best part was at the court, because we could go down to the old prison and saw in what circumstances the prisoners were held. But it was fascinating also inside, it was a nice game. It was funny when I called Miss Emese, because the tasks were weird. It was cool. (boy) It was only one week long. Our other team (one team of 6 people was divided into 2 sub-teams of 3-3 people) and us often engaged in a quarrel with each other, which acted as a major setback.
I noticed a lot of things in Veszprém which I hadn’t noticed before at all. My favourite was the archery. The craftsmanship exercises were enjoyable because I learned how to make felt. (girl) There was nothing I disliked in the game except that we had to wait a long time for the ones inside. Disregarding this the whole week was pretty interesting (except for the testpaper)
We studied playfully, we didn’t have to sit in the school the whole day. The tasks were in a contact with class 6, we received more information in this manner, (and it was more interesting thus than from the coursebook.) We may have worked with new devices. I liked the archbishop’s palace and the city hall most. It was exciting when we waited for the tasks. I didn’t like the test which I prepared for very much, but we only had to write it because of the game.
I liked the usage of devices, we took trips to many places. It was like a neat excursion, explanations etc. We studied playfully. I know it is difficult to solve, but there could have been more boys (there were only 2 in a 6 head team) This program could be continued. (boy) We were in one team with… and she was very selfish, she was always using the chat redundantly. She phoned many times in the Archives although she didn’t have to.
The tasks, trying and using this kind of devices were interesting. I enjoyed the interview with Miss Viki in the city hall, the solution of the inside tasks, and how to make an orb. (boy) We lost too many denars. I felt bad in the costume depot, because I didn’t get an answer to my question there. We didn’t get any information.
I liked it very much, it was good to learn playfully. When we were in we had to solve many tasks and we needed our logic. When we were in town I visited places that I had never visited before. We trusted in the others when they directed us from inside the school. I was happy when I saw ourselves on TV on Thursday. It’s true we walked a lot, but it was worth. In my opinion this week was instructive. It was exciting to use coordinates, I wondered where they would lead us. It was good to make felt. We pared a column from a huge Ytong brick, we wore glasses to protect our eyes – we looked like real stonemasons.The class seemed to be very convergent. We were gagged with the test which I filled in till 9 o’clock at night, but at least our brain did not stagnate, because we were working hard whole week.
I liked that we walked a lot in the town, we studied playfully, we did not have to sit in the desk. Everything was very good, both outside and inside. The whole was too short.
We got acquainted with many interesting things, we tried the archery, we could see an old prison. We had to walk a lot.
I liked that we sauntered outside in the town and we studied playfully. I also liked the craft workshops. I didn’t like so much to sit in front of the computer in the library.
It was very good, I had a good time, I like walking. I found it witty that the inside ones (managers) helped the outside ones (avatars), thus everybody had a task. We learned how to make a report, I have never done a drum yet until now. Miss Gabi’s jokes were very good as well. We wrote a beautiful poem. In the zoo I liked the little naughty monkeys. We took very cool photos. It was only one week long.
I enjoyed all of the game very much. Mainly I liked, when we were outside. Every morning was very exciting for me when we had to find out the localities. I liked the puzzles and that we roamed the town. The things were going clumsily initially on Monday, but we shook down in it later. Sometimes I was bored inside the library, it was much better outside.
I liked everything very much, I could get acquainted with Veszprém playfully. We had to do different tasks each day. I didn’t like sitting inside, it was much better to be outside.
I liked the whole thing, although there may have been more localities. Fortunately we didn’t have to learn that week. This whole thing was smart. It’s a pity that it was only one week long.
I liked that we studied playfully and that we had to solve our tasks. On the first day I was a manager, but it was good. I thought that it would be much better to be an avatar, but both inside and outside was very good. We used the Internet much and we were praised. I have no negative experiences, but after a time it was boring to sit in the same place. But we solved the situation in order not to be bored. The avatars did not see the chat many times, or when they checked it, they did not answer.
It was good that we didn’t have to go to school the whole week. I liked that we could reach places where others are not allowed to go in. The tasks were exciting, the class was convergent. It was good to get acquainted with new people, to use the devices. The idea that 6C was chosen was also a good thing. The display of the desktop was also fantastic. It was a pleasant surprise that the game began, though we were had over with the excursion. It was exciting when we realized it had begun!!! It was good to dabble in the soap when we were making felt. Making a bag plate was uncomfortable. I didn’t like when it was raining and we were very cold. When the devices went wrong was also a bad thing. Writing the test wasn’t good for me.
I liked the wole week. We played and learned at the same time. I preferred to be an avatar looking for targets by using GPS. I liked the zoo best, when we had to take a photo and video about the Hungarian sheep. Our coordinate was wrong on Monday that’s why we got to a wrong location. The whole thing was very exciting for me, mainly when we were to take a trip to Baláca and instead we had to go to the school library. Miss Emese said that children would arrive from Várpalota: Liza, Dia and Ádám. At the end of the Hungarian literature lesson a policeman came and informed us that the children had disappeared. Everybody was nervous, anxious and excited. On Monday we realized that this was part of the story and it was only a fraud. We had a good time during the whole week since we didn’t have to go to school. One day Miss Marica came to us to make a test write at home. It was also a fraud – we realized it the next day. I liked it very much. We were allowed to put on gowns at the court. I didn’t like when our PDA went wrong, and we were not able to go on without it when it was raining.
I liked the whole game, mainly when we went to the court or when we were in the library. I preferred to be an avatar. It was good to make felt. I liked when we got different puzzles, cryptograms, pictures refering to the task. And of course when we worked with PDAs, mobile phones and GPS. In the chemistry we got acquainted with different herbs. It was also good when we lost our way. It was very exciting when we went down to the old prison. Just a few negative things, but these are not connected to the game itself. Eg: I had to leave in one of the afternoons, and when we were in the zoo the Hungarian sheep did not want to come closer and make a sound. And one of my fellows hacked, because he/she wanted to do everything.
It was interesting using devices, we went to many places, we got acquainted with new things that we had learned before or we learnt about now. We could put on period suits. It was interesting to work as adults: eg. The press conference and using laptops. Xy did not let somebody else prevail. He did not pay attention to us. We were allowed to eat only at 10 o’clock and at noon. Sometimes we had to wait long for the the instructions from the managers or an instruction, which we did not understand, was given because it was not totally accurate.
We didn’t have to learn. It was very exciting, the whole game was well-organized. We studied playfully. The tasks were not fixed, we had to come up with them. It was exciting, too that we had to get to different places on the base of coordinates and we didn’t know in the beginning where to go. The craft worksop was also good. I wish it could go on. There were not so many boys in the team. Xy was with us, there was one PDA for three people, and we were avatars only twice.
I liked this game very much because we saw many interesting things and places. I liked the beautiful old diplomas the best in the archives of the archbishop’s palace. In the game there were many playful and good tasks, and I enjoyed them very much. But there could have been more stations, I think, and the game could have been longer as well. I liked that it was not necessary to take part in the lessons during the whole week. I liked the craft worksop, too. It was also good that we met Guszti in Óváros Square.

 

 

I liked the game very much, mainly when we had to solve the tasks outside. I enjoyed taking photographs and videos, using GPS and browsing the Internet. I liked the tasks, they were very inventive. It was good, when we were praised for our work. I didn’t like, when I realized that we would not go out, but I calmed down when I realized how good this whole thing was. It was not good either when we had to write that test. And the worst thing was that the game came to an end.
I liked that I heard and saw a lot of interesting things. The tasks were interesting. They were easy and inventive. It was the most exciting part for me, when we were received as journalists, and when videos were taken about us. And it would be good if there was a game like this once more and we would study in this way.

 

 

We visited interesting places. We worked by using GPS and we looked for the localities on the base of coordinates. I liked the craft workshops. The managers were bored while the avatars were walking in town.
I think we did many good things, and we received interesting and exciting tasks richly. The many playful tasks were good. It was exciting for me that we depended on one another inside the teams, the solidarity between the people was necessary. It was strange that the teams did not receive the same type tasks. There were exciting tasks and sometimes the previous task was better. I cannot decide it really, which was better: to be an avatar or a manager, since all of our tasks were very good indeed.
