The Pack Overview
What is The Pack? The Pack is an open-world puzzle and survival game set in a future world called Algos, where ecosystems have faltered, and water and food are scarce. The player must replenish water sources and find varied seeds scattered throughout the world to restore balance to the environment. The player is accompanied by a "Pack" of helpful creatures with special skills that can be combined in a sequence (algorithm) to perform complex tasks and overcome challenges. The game encourages problem-solving, computational thinking, and basic coding principles. Educational guidelines are available for free download from the New York Hall of Science website. The project was supported by the JPB Foundation and the National Science Foundation.
1. Help restore the world to an ecologically balanced state in this open-world puzzle and survival game – while learning some computational thinking along the way! The Pack is set in Algos, a future world where healthy ecosystems have faltered, water and food are scarce, and it’s up to you and your Pack to help fix the environment.
2. You find yourself waking up in a barren land where the only way to bring balanced life back is to replenish water sources and find varied seeds that are scattered all over the world! You can’t do it alone, and can’t stray too far from water, so you and a “Pack” of helpful creatures set out on an adventure across Algos.
3. Throughout the game, you must find food sources to attract your own Pack made of local Algos creatures with special skills that will help you in your new environment.
4. These creatures have functions like digging, moving, holding, grabbing and bumping, skills that will help you collect seeds and bring water to dry areas.

6. When your Pack has more than one type of creature, you can combine them in a sequence (also known as an algorithm) to perform complex tasks and overcome challenges.
