EDUCATORS

Adventerra Games has no desire to waste precious raw materials and energy selling you games that will sit on a shelf gathering dust, so this page will show you step by step how to calculate exactly how many games you need for your educational program within your institutional context, and how much they will cost.

Step 1: To find out how many Watergame kits to order, calculate how many classes will be playing the games at the same time.

Example 1: Maria Hanley is Assistant Principal of an Elementary School. She has six third grade classes that will play Watergame. However, she does not need to buy six kits because only two classes will be playing during the same class period in the same day. This means that each kit can be shared by three classes, so Maria needs only two kits (the maximum number of classes that will be using the game simultaneously).

Step 2: To find out how many Watergames must be in each kit, find out how many students there are in the largest class and divide that by the number of players that can play Watergame at a time (four).

Example 2: Maria’s largest class contains 23 students, and four students can play Watergame, so each kit must include six games -- 23 students divided by four students/game, rounded up to the nearest whole number.

Step 3: To calculate the total number of Watergames needed, multiply the number of kits (Step 1) by the number of games needed in each kit (Step 2).

Example 3: Maria needs 12 Watergames (two kits of six games each).

Step 4: To calculate the cost to your program after application of the Adventerra educational and volume discounts, consult the line in the table below corresponding to the total number of games you need (Step 3).

Step 6: If your organization does not have the resources to cover 100% of the cost of the games needed in your area, then consider looking for an outside sponsor for your game distribution project.

Example 4: Jim Townsend works for the Board of Education in Smoggy City. He has calculated in Step 3 that he needs 1,200 Watergames and 900 copies of Energy Hogs. By adding these two together, he arrives at the last line on the table in Step 4, yielding a price of $11.50 per game. The total budget will cost (1,200 + 900) * 11.50 = $24,150. His special projects budget has only $10,000. He makes a fund-raising pitch to the local Board of Realtors, who decide to cover the rest of the project cost in exchange for a little work organizing a press conference to give them credit.

Important note: Even if you are not ready to order, if you have a good idea for a special project to get people in your area playing Adventerra Games, then please feel free to contact us directly.
