Crown or Colony is so much fun!! You get to learn about the Revolutionary War while interacting with the game. It helps you make connectoins when you are in class and are talking about the Revolutionary War. You learn new vocabulary words that help you understand them more. You get to take a quiz and see who is the bestat vocabulary words ! Ilove this game!!!

Crown or colony is a fun way to learn about history because I know a lot of people who don’t like to just listen about history. But in this game you play a young boy who lives in America named Nat Wheeler. Also in this game he goes to Boston to become an apprentice for Mr.Edes in a print shop. You may encounter slaves, redcoats, and maybe some famous peolpe. But it depends on what you say to these people because they might be offended.I recommend this game to everyone.

Crown and Colony is a fun and cool way to learn about history. It really gets your mind thinking where to next. You also need to remember where you went so you dont go twice and get confused. On this game your name is Nathaniel and you work for Mr. Edes and you have to go around to try to sell advertisments. You also have to be careful with what you say if you say the write thing then if you do you sell more. If you want to learn about history then play crown and colony there is lots of levels and it is a easy and fun way to LEARN!!

I am in Dr. Ruszala’s class and I like it that she lets us play this game and I believe it is really fun to play because you learn a lot about the past like the Boston Tea Party.

I really enjoyed playing this game! I thought it was a fun way to have a first person point of veiw in the colonial times. Also I liked how you you got to choose your path at the end and all of them were different so nobody’s game was the same really. I’m really interested in doing the Civil War version of the game, it seems really fun. When we were talking about this in Social Studies all of us were making a bunch of connections from ” Crown or Colony”.
:D :O

I am in DR. Ruszal’s class and I think it’s great she lets us play Crown or colony because you get to learn about along time ago and things that happened back then like the Boston Tea Party or the Boston Massacre.

I love this game!!! It is very interactive and I even met Paul Revere! Even though I am playing as a Loyalist and I’m getting teased. I am having so much fun. I think this is how we should do all of our Social Studies units, I love it!!!

Crown or Colony was great, we compared crown or colony
to our social studies it was a easier way to learn.

I love crown or colony! Its so addicting. The hardest part of the game is when you have to find the advertisments for the gazzette because somtimes you might run into a loyalist. Now after playing that game, I want to play the civil war version.
