Miss Peregrines Home for Peculiar Children

Marquis Thomas

The book is a mystery and adventure.  So I decided to make an online game to where you had to explore and find clues as Jacob did trying to find the peculiar children.  A game that involves this is slender man which is a very popular online game with the same concept.  In Slender man, you are being hunted down and have to find notes to survive before he kills you.  In this game, you will have to find clues to your grandfather’s death and to the stories of the peculiar kids before your time on the island is up.  Also once, you do that you will have to have to decide all the important decisions Jacob did.  Including rather or not to stay with the pecualair children in the loop forever or go back to town where you are being hunted and many more choices.    So the fans will get a chance to put there selves in Jacobs shoes and see if they can follow Jacobs path correctly or find another successful way to solve the mystery of your grandfathers death.  A specific choice you would have to make is whether or not to fall for Emma.  Emma is your grandfather’s sweetheart about 40 years ago.  So you have to decide to follow your heart and have relations with Emma or to respect your sweetheart.  Another decision would be whether or not to leave America and go to an island across the Atlantic to solve the mystery of your grandfather’s death.  You have your parents, the police, and even your best friend who was with you telling you that there is no mystery.  You haven’t believed your grandfather since you were eight; will you throw everything away and go to an island to chase something you haven’t believed in? Or will you stay and ignore the clues he has left behind for you?  This idea will work because even if people haven’t read the book, you can still enjoy and play the game as a new experience. This will make people recognize the book more because a lot more people play games than read so this would gain the book a lot more attention. For people who have read the book, now they have a chance to fully emerge themselves in the book.  If they didn’t like some of the choices made they can now make their own with the same plot.  There will also be specific quotes to incorporate the choices. For example,” You are my prisoner now my prisoner.  Do exactly as I say or you’ll regret it.”  This is a quote that Emma said to Jacob the first time they met.  Jacob had a choice to listen to a complete stranger or run away.  Do you like Jacobs’s decision?  It doesn’t matter; it’s your decision now.  Another quote would be from Miss Peregrine herself,” So what’s the use in filling their heads with grand talk about exotic wonders of the future?”  Here Jacob is being talked to about telling the children about his world are like.  The children get excited about the future but they cannot leave the house.  So will you continue to tell them about the future or will head her order.  And a very important quote is “…I’m pretty sure that’s flirting.”  Here Jacob is being hit on by Emma.  You decide whether to go along with her flirting or end the affection.  Overall, fans will love the interactive experience with the book.  The book will be able to expand to the readers through this experience.
