I played through a few of the scenarios, this is quite interesting. The failure states seem quite harsh though when I'm trying to explore the paths. For example, while playing through the "How a Bill Becomes a Law" example, if I make the mistake of introducing the bill to the house before a committee, I get a warning "WHAT BILL ARE YOU INTRODUCING? What could you possibly be introducing?". The all caps part is a font choice, so it doesn't look like users could disable it which might scare some players. I would have expected a much calmer explanation of the problem. The other thing I would have liked is an easy link to a study guide or external resources. I know the whole point is to learn by exploring the decision tree, but I would have liked to stop and read more about what a committee is, or to learn what a "rule" is that I'm assigning to a bill (I still don't know). It seems like it's easy to get a rough overview of a process, but not to dive deeper than that.

We made how a bill becomes a law in collaboration with political science professor from Colorado State University she really wanted to capture her student's attention. But the decision tree and how it's displayed is anything that you want it to be I felt nice that is a platform so users can sign up create your own scenarios generate a link and send it out so students can explore. As far as linking to study guide or external resources we built a hint node to offer additional information to students exploring that allows students to pause the timer. We are capturing a tremendous amount of analytics like for example we can see when the student leaves the tab during play. We capture every decision the amount of time on that decision the sequence and the number of tries as well as abandonments and the abandonment nodes. In the future we're planning an app resource guide. Thank you for your comment. Give it a try and share it with a teacher!
