Shipwreck Sampling Game

How it works

1. Pick any site on the map. Each one has its own story and its own research question.
2. Buy the sampling methods you think can answer the question. You have $5,000 per site and cannot afford everything.
3. Lock in your plan to see what happens. Each site scores out of 100.
4. Finish all four sites. Your total out of 400 decides your career.

Where you could end up

The map

Choose a site

Work through the sites in any order. Finish all four to find out what happens to your career.

Step 1

Spend your budget

Fieldwork (F1) is compulsory and already included. Buy each other method once, if you want it. You cannot afford everything.

Step 2

Explain your choices

One line for each method you bought. This is optional, but your tutor may ask, and the lines go into your Canvas post at the end.
