“What I’ve learned from Heimdall's Quest is that I’ve learned that cooperation and teamwork is essential when you are in a group setting.”
“It’s good. Everyone got to know each other really fast due to the groups we sat in. So in the beginning we got to know the groups. We became friends really fast.”
“It made a good reason to want to go to school and to get to school at the right time each day, work with your tasks and work with your work at home if you did not finish in school in order to get more points than the others.”
“It made learning a bit more fun. Because, if you put in good effort and showed up and wasn't late you got XP and you got to advance further which gave you advantages in the classroom. You could do whatever you want by the end of the year if you earned enough XP. That was motivating for me. I wanted to reach the top. That was the goal from the start.”
