Stop the Spread! Firebreak Decision Game
An interactive decision game putting the player in the shoes of someone in 1666 London. The fire is spreading along Pudding Lane. The wind is blowing east. You can pull down a row of houses to create a gap โ but only ONE row. Which row do you choose? Five rounds, each with a different starting position and wind direction. Wrong choices show the fire spreading further; right choices show it being contained. Teaches the firebreak concept and the idea that historical decisions involved real consequences.
