This game is single player and not a real situation. It can be the starting point of a discussion on several topics:

  • How do real zoo’s work?
  • How are real animals treated at the zoo
  • What have you learned from animal behavior in the game and how does this reflect reality?
  • What do you need to do to build spaces that people/animals love?
  • How to handle unhappy people/animals?
