Whitewater Rush
One river running the whole realm end to end — falling, pooling, vanishing into the rock and coming back out somewhere else. Six stops, six problems to put right, six Digs to recover. Free, no logins, no accounts. Led by Trickling, the Realm's hero Adventureling.
Assigning one stop
- Every stop has its own address. Stop 4 is
/pages/whitewater-rush#stop-4— paste it straight into Google Classroom. - Progress is remembered on the device, so a class can do one stop a week and pick up where it left off.
- Each stop runs 10–15 minutes. The finale needs all six done first.
The six stops
1. Ribbon RapidsThe sun evaporates water into vapour. The vapour cools and condenses into cloud droplets. It falls as precipitation, then collects and runs downhill.2. Crystal FallsWater is the same stuff in three forms: solid ice, liquid water, and an invisible gas called water vapour.3. Boulder GardenA watershed is all the land that drains into one river. Rain runs downhill into trickles, trickles join into creeks, creeks join into the river, and the river reaches the sea.4. The Green CurrentA river's source is where it starts. Tributaries are smaller streams joining it. A divide is the high ground between two watersheds. The mouth is where the river empties out.5. The Panning PoolsRain either soaks into the ground or runs off the surface. Soft, plant-covered ground soaks it up. Hard, bare or steep ground sheds it straight into the river.6. The Glowing LagoonPlants along a bank hold the soil with their roots and trap mud before it reaches the water. Clear water lets light through; muddy water does not.
What the kit adds
The adventure is free and always will be. The Whitewater Rush kit
adds the part a screen cannot do: six real specimens, six Digs that come sealed with the label scratched off,
six Gemlings in a blind bag, and the printed map with Trickling on it. Finish a stop online and that location's
Dig is yours to open for real.
Finished Whitewater Rush? The online adventure is the half you can do today. The other half is a real specimen in your hand — six of them, one per stop, sealed in a Dig with the label scratched off.
