Gospel Champions, Volume 1: A Catholic Action Adventure PC Video Game

Gospel Champions takes kids back to Biblical times by recreating Gospel stories in a new game paradigm that intertwines 3D action/adventure gameplay with sequenced elements of Gospel stories from the Lectionary. The game immerses kids in a 3D recreation of the story setting, where they control their Zack or Mary Martha character to avoid adversaries and solve puzzles that lead them to an animated cinema of each part of the story. Once they have solved the puzzles necessary to find all the story elements, they then perform tasks related to the story, such as helping Zacchaeus give half of his possessions to the poor and pay back those he cheated. Kids will also find many people in the cities that they can help by solving puzzles to perform Corporal or Spiritual Works of Mercy such as feeding the hungry or providing shelter for the homeless. Additionally, kids get bonus points for finding Catholic prayers, teachings and Saints in the game. Once these tasks are completed, the game transitions to the Bonus Round with additional challenging puzzles and scoring tokens. The game has three different skill settings for ages 6 and up. Gospel Champions consists of 13 Gospel stories from the Lectionary including: The Birth of Jesus, The Shepherds and the Angels, Jesus Baptized by John, The Beatitudes, Jesus Cures a Deaf Man, Jesus Blesses Little Children, Jesus Raises the Widow's Son, The Good Samaritan, Parable of the Rich Man, The Prodigal Son, Jesus Before Pontius Pilate, The Resurrection of Jesus and Jesus Appears to the Disciples.
