Pack your bags and get ready for a mountain-sized challenge! In this digital game, students answer number questions to climb their way to the top of a scenic mountain trail. With each correct answer, they hike a little further, progressing through changing environments like forests, cliffs, and snowy peaks.

The game can be played solo or as a team. When played with more than one character, all players work together to answer questions and help the group climb higher as a united team. The journey ends with a polaroid-style snapshot that shows how far they made it up the mountain, along with a final score.

In this version, students will be shown a number between 0 and 20 and asked to select the number that is one more. Four answer options are provided on each screen. This game is perfect for reinforcing early number knowledge and helping students confidently count forward by one.

Students are encouraged to replay the game, aiming to reach the summit by answering all questions correctly. This creates a powerful learning opportunity around persistence, determination, and growth through repetition.

Key Learning Outcomes:

• ✅ Identify the number that is one more than a given number (0–20)
• ✅ Develop counting-on strategies for early number recognition
• ✅ Strengthen number fluency and forward counting skills
• ✅ Build confidence with foundational numeracy concepts
• ✅ Participate in engaging, visual learning through interactive gameplay
