Book 1 Project: Insurgent Virtual Reality Game

What we are offering here is an opportunity for you to go into the world of Insurgent by interacting and playing as Tris, Tobias, Jeanine, Christina, Peter, Caleb, Johanna, Tori, max, Eric, and Evelyn. You will first register for a username and make your profile and biography so that other players can add you as friends and keep in contact with you. You will wear a virtual reality helmet and wear special virtual reality gloves that will help you see through the eyes of the character you choose. You will be able to freely choose what you want to do as your character! You will have the choice to change the outcome of the second book, Insurgent, just by one choice you make which will decide who lives or dies such as changing Tris’ feelings of guilt of killing Will by never choosing to kill Will, but help him break free from the simulation from the first book, Divergent because of how guilty Tris feels for killing Will when Tobias says, “Grief is not as heavy as guilt, but it takes more away from you.” (Roth)  This shows how much guilt has an effect on Tris and her life currently. That one choice that Tris made about killing Will and getting to the Dauntless headquarters in Divergent, changed Tris’ path forever! She lost her close friend Christina, since Will and Christina were dating and in order to survive, Tris had to kill Will in order to get to Dauntless headquarters to shut down the simulation that Jeanine had everyone under through the simulation serum. 

You will discover the truth behind Erudite’s war on the other factions through Jeanine and her perspective. You will be able to learn why Jeanine did what she did as you play as Jeanine and learn about the whole reason why she went as far as controlling the factions just to hide the truth even though you will learn through Tris that “The truth has a way of changing people's plans.” (Roth) Jeanine wasn't always a control freak who wanted to do anything just to control the divergent or the other factions, she was a true Erudite who pursued knowledge and the advancement of her faction, but one truth changed her and made her wage war on the other factions with the help of a select traitorous Dauntless.

You will learn about when Caleb started helping Jeanine as you play Jeanine and/or play Caleb. Caleb who chose Erudite has always been an Erudite at heart even when he was still in Abnegation, you could find all the books stacked in his room, between desks, chairs, under the bed, and everywhere else you can think of to hide books, he seemed like the perfect Abnegation child, but he only hid his true nature and confined it to his room. You will get clues as to what made him betray Tris and his whole family when he says, “We should think of our family. But…But we must also think of ourselves.” (Roth) This quote from Insurgent gives clues to Caleb’s selfishness. He was the key to a lock being Tris. He knew Tris’ secrets and told Jeanine and is responsible for his parents’ death.

This virtual reality game will help you get in touch with your favorite character’s thoughts and personality in a perspective from the character and give you the opportunity to change the story as if you were the character yourself and had to make quick decisions that would change everything! As you play, more and more people ranging from young kids from age 12 to 18 will start playing and as more and more people play, the more real the book will become and will ultimately lead to a better understanding of the book because you lived through it! As more people start playing, they will want to know what happened in the actual book, so they can experiment around with changing the storyline and this way book sales will go up and the game become more challenging as you fight each other as you are on different factions. Every month Veronica Roth will play as herself in the game and you can meet her in the daring and fearless compound of the Dauntless where you can ask her questions and invite her on quests or even ask for her guidance on what you could do next that she might do if she were your character!
