:Fortune Hunter has begun to adapt the game play for classroom use. Instead of the originally-intended method of controlling the content the player will face during his or her journey throughout the game's story, we decided it's better to just provide a "[http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Fortune_Hunter/Game_Features#Training_Mode Training Mode]". For use inside the classroom, please follow this easy lesson plan instruction.

::1. Every player can power on their XO and launch Fortune Hunter.

::2. Instruct students to navigate to and select Training Mode.

::3. Instruct students to select Options and have them change them as desired. The options can always be changed prior to launching a game. The game will also save the latest options set and skipping this step from now on will keep these same options in effect.

::4. Instruct students to select the type of training mode, Endless-Merchant or Endless-Battle. Students will earn extra money or rewards for their profile in the single player campaign based on their progress of these training types.

::5. While students play, you will be able to view their overall progress on topics and accumulate information on the class.
