The ChangersAdventures™ is an interactive fairy-tale adventure designed to stimulate engagement between an adult Reader and a child Listener and exercise imagination, creativity and out-of-the-box thinking to develop the innovators and changers of tomorrow.

The ChangersAdventures™ comprises two trilogies. The first includes Bea’s Book, Gad’s Book, and Gloman’s Book for elementary school aged children. The second series is for tweens and its three books are collectively called The Infinity Tilt Trilogy. Each trilogy is a separate year-long subscription and both are connected to a digital platform that provides further interaction, exploration, information and fun!

This is a shared experience between an adult Reader and a young Listener. (though the child may be able to read and is encouraged to do so). The Reader helps navigate the pair through the experience and encourages doing all the activities, challenges and interactions with characters in the digital realm. Because of this, we refer to the adult Reader as “the ReaderGuide” (using the ChangerRealm spelling). The child is thought of as a “Changer-in-training”. Therefore, we refer to the child Listener as the “ListenerChanger”.

If the ReaderGuide and ListenerChanger are not in the same household, they will connect via FaceTime, Zoom or an online meeting platform of their choosing. Both ReaderGuide and ListenerChanger receive a hard copy of the books (I-III are included in the first year’s subscription) in addition to other elements described below.

BGG strictly upholds the privacy and safety of the ListenerChanger, a minor. If the ReaderGuide and ListenerChanger do not share the same household, all ListenerChanger materials and communications will be directed to an adult in the child’s household who then makes the material available to them and helps them connect with the ReaderGuide. Each adult supervisor of a ListenerChanger will receive a link to the Reader’s Guide along with other pertinent information.

Throughout, the goal is to have the ReaderGuide and ListenerChanger engage with each other in a shared experience, and participate in the story, the challenges and activities connected with it. We hope that the experience will be fulfilling and fun--that you will grow your imaginations and think outside-the-box. Like any great journey, this experience is transformative and can help you both become the Changers of tomorrow.

Both ReaderGuide and ListenerChanger receive their books at the same time. You start with Book I; approximately 17 weeks later, you both receive Book II. The third book arrives in another 17 weeks, completing the first trilogy and your subscription year. We suggest setting aside a set time(s) to get together with the ListenerChanger and read the book. Other helpful suggestions: Read at your own pace. Try using different voices for each character! Talk about the characters with your ListenerChanger. Follow the purple MagicWords!

Sprinkled throughout each book are words written in purple. They are special, magical words that digitally lead you and your ListenerChanger to the LibrarianTeller in the ChangersRealm. There, you can learn more about each word, do activities related to it as well as accept and complete challenges that are part of your Changer training. Here is a link to the magic purple word, Dragons. Here is how it and several MagicWords are presented: Illustration Definition and special information 3 facts with links to other resources Often a video from the LibrarianTeller or other Changer Activities and challenges to do The opportunity to send your own ideas and questions to those in the ChangersRealm

MagicWords: more fun with the purple words found in each Book; Resource List: a list of the scholarship and materials we relied upon to bring you The ChangersAdventures™ The Reader’s Guide: where you can find out the answers to many questions about the experience and how it works. The ChangersGame is a key part of the Changer experience. It is a game played by the ReaderGuide and ListenerChanger as a Team that can earn Treasure Points from the HouseGnome. The Team with the most points at year’s end receives a special, curated prize from Gloman, the FirstWizard. The PurplePouch is mailed to the ListenerChanger for each book (total of 3 for the year). Each PurplePouch includes something from the Books’ Characters and Changers to help the ListenerChanger on the Quest and to become a Changer.

The ChangersGame is one of the most important elements in The ChangersAdventures™. You and your ListenerChanger are a TEAM and you play the ChangersGame together. The ChangersGame is action-oriented-- every time you click on a link, do an activity or challenge, or send in original work and ideas, you win Treasure Points from the HouseGnome. The Team with the most Treasure Points at the end of the year wins a special prize from Gloman the FirstWizard! Here are some examples of how you play the game and win HouseGnome Treasure Points: Click on a MagicWord; Click on a link; Do a MagicWord activity; Complete a MagicWord Challenge; Open the ChangersConnects email each week; Open the different parts of each ChangersConnects; Answer the FirstWizard’s questions; Answer the Characters’ questions; Send in original drawings, ideas and questions to the Characters; Read the TreasureHunt clues and find the hidden objects in each book!

The TreasureHunt has been devised by the HouseGnome and is part of the ListenerChanger’s Changer training. In half of the weekly ChangersConnects, the HouseGnome provides a clue to his TreasureHunt. Read the clue to determine which page in the book you should search and what you are supposed to find. Some clues are easy; others are not. A magnifying glass can be handy! We will provide each ReaderGuide with a ‘cheat sheet’ for the objects--but try it yourself first!

This experience is not a set in stone process. You can move at the pace you’d like! However, it was designed with intentions. The purpose of The ChangersAdventures™ is to spend active, fulfilling time with your close ones. You’ll utilize as many or few of the resources provided here to help accomplish this. There are several chapters within each book. Read at a pace comfortable for you and your ListenerChanger. Take time to share ideas and insights and, above all, use your imagination to further explore the themes of the story through the lens of your own individual and shared stories. Do the activities--they are designed to stimulate imagination, creative and critical thinking and they are fun! Activities and challenges connect you to the digital platform that helps immerse you both into the ChangersRealm and its adventures. To continue to support these springboards, you'll be getting weekly ChangersConnects via email. The purpose of these are to spark even more interest, conversation and creativity (think activities, fun facts, arts & entertainment). Note that you can always go back to a past ChangersConnects and respond to its questions and complete its challenges. During all of this, you and your ListenerChanger may want to send in artwork, feedback, answers to questions, etc.--and we can't wait to receive them! In sharing such items, you are also strengthening the imaginations and creativity of the rest of us. Additionally, as a positive reinforcement, these actions will provide the ListenerChanger with added points for TreasureTokens which are part of the ChangersGame.
