Ruby and the Last Unicorn
As a retired teacher who has taken an interest in the toolset over the last few years and used it with a class of Games Design pupils, it occurred to me that there are very few modules aimed at younger children on the Vault. There is a project page created by @OlivierLeroux which outlines most of the existing kids' modules but I thought it might be nice to give them a bit more exposure and try to encourage builders to think about catering for a younger age group. As a grandfather myself, I know that my granddaughter is interested in good stories and playing games on the computer and I am currently trying to interest her in building simple things using the toolset. I'm sure many of us on the Vault are of a similar age and hope they might be interested in catering for a younger audience occasionally. I'd like to thank Olivier for his work in curating these and this updated page comes with his encouragement.
Before continuing, in the interests of full disclosure, one of the modules on Olivier's page is one that I created for my granddaughter called "Ruby and the Last Unicorn". It will be included here, just as a link with a screenshot but without a review by me as that would be bizarre (!). However, at least you are aware of my connection to it. I would be grateful if anyone would consider reviewing it for me so it can be included properly. There are a number of haks etc. required for it as it was built after EE came out and specifically with using recent assets in mind so I'd strongly recommend using NIT to download the module as @Surazal has kindly written a rule for his program which fetches the correct assets.

Finally, I'm sure that these are not all the modules suitable for kids that exist on the Vault so if you know of another please feel free to contact me with a review of it, preferably using roughly the same format as I have for consistency. I'm happy just to receive a link or even just the text of the review which I will turn into a review. Please note that any comments on modules here are weighted to the positive as it's not my intention to upset anyone or discourage anyone from having a go at this genre. I played them on EE so can't vouch for anything else. You also may well have to change the format of any movies included in the modules as some of them are quite old.
IMPORTANT ! A link to a module's project page on the Vault is also given at the bottom of each review.
