Virtual World Design Concepts

• Concepts from other Virtual Worlds I Like:
• Live Photosharing (Club Cooee)
• Minigames (Toontown)
• Earning currency through trivia quizzes/questions (Mokitown)
• Colloquialize/"Translate" speech (Yohoho! Puzzle Pirates)
  i.e "buddies" > "hearties", "inventory" > "booty"

Virtual Worlds Concept: "Booktopia"

Would be able to go around book worlds as themselves and meet other fellow readers and even interact with characters from chosen book world.

• Other social aspects can include sharing fan made productions such as fan art.

A virtual world exploring a wide range of children's books such as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Harry Potter.

Events would compose of re-enacting scenes from books and/or integrating them.

• May have series of actions to do outside the canon to explore non-linearity. Similar to the "Give Yourself Goosebumps" series.
• Contests such as a "Find a new candy for Willy Wonka" and travel to Hogwarts for the Bertie Bots to submit.

Economy will be earned through "points" by answering book trivia questions.

• Example, "What is frobscottle?" (from Roald Dahl's BFG)
• Can also be earned by purchasing books and using a specialized code or ISBN number.
• Can be connected to your Kindle/e-book reader to earn points through books "read" and "bought".
• Purchasing a book may "open" a new world to explore.
