Hi! The game suddenly don't work anymore! In the lastest edition of Chrome it is not possible to start a new game. When you press the "New game"-button it just plays a sound and the start menu is back again. Please help! This is a popular game for my pupils in class, and we use it some of our subjects.
Sorry about that; the server needed an update. It seems to be back up and running now. It's great to hear that you're finding the game useful. Would love to hear more about how it's used in the classroom!
I'm happy to share more about how we use the game in the classroom.
We use this game is to provide pupils with an entertaining break between the lectures while practicing both communication and planning skills in the classroom. The "villain" doesn't communicate with the others but must listen, evaluate, and plan the best strategy to avoid being caught. The other players must communicate quickly and efficiently to catch the villain effectively.
We can connect this to our curriculum learning objectives, it ties into several areas. In the Norwegian and English language curriculum, it aligns with both the core element of oral communication and oral skills as a basic competency. You can also connect it to mathematics through systems thinking, developing solution strategies, and communicating these strategies to others.
But they mostly do it because it is fun - but they do train on communication and planning at the same time.

BTW - If it is some server that connects the clients that suddenly isn't running, just tell me how to set it up and I can continue running it.
