Dig-and-decide

Dig-and-decide activities let learners proceed toward a goal by making decisions that help or hinder their progress. These activities resemble the early computer adventure games in which the player sets out on a quest and must pick up objects and choose paths carefully. Such activities are often called social-interaction simulators when they are used to simulate the interaction between people.
