Landforms and Geography Adventure Pack

Terrain Shift

Landforms and Geography Adventure Pack

Something is reshaping the ground faster than it should.

Set inside a massive stone maze carved by nature itself, explorers navigate towering arches, winding canyons, and hidden pathways while Earth’s surface systems behave unpredictably. Ari Raider has detected a disturbance affecting landform processes, and the signal leads directly into the maze.

In Terrain Shift, students investigate how landforms are created and how geography shapes the world around us as they move deeper through the stone corridors. Along the way, they use real science knowledge to understand erosion, plate movement, and underground formation. Each correct decision helps stabilize the terrain and brings explorers closer to unlocking the Mystery Mine, where the Professor hid a specimen.

This adventure blends geography learning with story-driven exploration and optional hands-on discovery.

For families or classrooms that want to extend the experience, this Adventure Pack adds a real mystery dig and collectible cards that bring the mission into the physical world.

The learning experience is the same whether students use the physical pack or not. The pack simply adds a tactile, collectible layer to the story.

What This Adventure Covers

Each Terrain Shift Adventure Pack explores the following landforms and geography topics:

• Landforms and Erosion – How wind, water, and ice wear away rock over time
• Mountains and Plate Boundaries – How colliding plates form mountains and trigger earthquakes
• Hills and Plains – How erosion and sediment buildup shape flatter regions
• Volcanoes and Islands – How molten rock creates new land
• Deserts and Dunes – How dry climates and wind shape shifting dunes
• Rocks and Weathering – How rock breaks down into smaller pieces
• Caves and Underground Features – How water dissolves rock to form tunnels and chambers
• Glaciers and Valleys – How glaciers carve U-shaped valleys and leave deposits
• Continental Drift and Land Formation – How slow plate movement reshapes Earth over millions of years

Each topic appears naturally within the adventure and is required to move the story forward, reinforcing learning through exploration rather than memorization.
