FrançaisMon GO

A QR scavenger hunt that evolved into a three-week, curriculum-integrated narrative game for Beginning French.

How it grew

The original end-of-term campus review became a professional-development experience and then a six-episode unit woven directly into Beginning French II.

How it played

Learners completed communicative missions, explored campus locations, scanned QR-linked ProfStops, gathered story clues, and developed a partner character through progress and rewards.

Why it matters

The project shows iterative design in practice: gathering feedback, expanding a successful prototype, and moving from surface-level theming toward a coherent narrative and curriculum.
