A Whole New World
The Daring Game for Girls contains a whole world for you and your girlfriends to explore and discover! In this world, you’ll be able to complete activities, answer multiple-choice trivia questions, grab essential gear and build things to help you earn badges (kinda like the Girl Scouts do). There are six different badge types for you to collect:
- arts and literature
- life skills
- world knowledge
- sports and games
- girl lore
- adventure
Earning badges is hard work because you have to get a certain number of points in a specific area to get your badge. To reach the end of the game, you need at least four badges, all of the essential gear items and enough money to go on the final trip.
Play Away
In this video game, you’ll spend time participating in various activities like sports and trivia and collecting materials to make projects, which you can either use, give away to friends or sell. You can actually buy some of the materials in one of the three stores in the game: a garden store, hardware store and arts & crafts shop. But the rest of the items you’ll have to receive as rewards for completing certain tasks (like winning a round of tether ball). Making new friends in the game will also let you experience brand-new missions, where you can earn even more materials for your projects.
Biz Skills
Besides being a whole lotta fun to play, The Daring Game for Girls actually teaches you some great business and entrepreneurial skills. For example, at the corner store, you get to set the price that you want to sell your items for. During the sale, you’ll be able to keep track of how many people don’t buy your stuff because it’s just too expensive! Plus, the game contains tons of cool info about famous, amazing women in history (pay attention to these screens, as they usually show up in the trivia section later on). Some of the famous females mentioned in the game are: Helen Keller, Emily Dickinson, Whoopi Goldberg and J. K. Rowling.
