“Getting educated has never been so hard.”
Mission College Admission is a competitive board game that aims to teach players about the college admissions process. Players will create a character with randomized traits (income level, parents’ educational level, etc.) that result in inherent advantages and disadvantages that contribute to their progress on the board. For instance, having an upper-class background may grant you an advantage in being able to afford a tutor for the SAT/ACT. Players will navigate their senior year of high school, balancing their arrangement of classes, standardized testing, extracurricular activities, jobs, and other unexpected circumstances as they try to get into the best possible college.
After playing, we want players to think, “Is the game fair?” which translates to “Is our current college admissions process fair?” Mission College Admission is meant for 2-6 players and takes anywhere between 45-90 minutes to play. Our target audience is people looking to get into college or wanting to learn more about college admissions.
