Jeremy, Michael, and I played the Aris game "The Wisconsin Gameday". Prior to playing the game we read its description; this particular game was described as a way to "experience the festivities of a Wisconsin football game". Seeing as it is extremely cold outside and Camp Randall is very far, we decided to take advantage of the quick travel aspect of the game. We were sent on quests to various restaurants, bars, landmarks, and finally the stadium. At these locations we were tasked with "ordering" food, drinks, and watching videos about various pre-game pep rallies. We watched videos about various Badger traditions including the Union South Badger Bash and the post-game 5th quarter.
We all enjoyed our game of choice. It brought back the nostalgia of Wisconsin Gamedays. We also felt that in today's society kids are frequently too enveloped in their cell phones and various forms of technology, but this game provided a happy medium for kids to explore the greatness of Madison while also seeming as though they are still playing a game on their phones.
Last Day of Discussion Section! Yay!

Carly,
Great choice of game! Badger footballgames are one of Wisconsins most traditional pastimes, so it's quite interesting to reflect on the past. I also liked how you related it to individuals of today who are overly consumed by cell phones
