Book Project: The Night Circus fan experience

This is a fun and entertaining way to get to know the characters and the Le Cirque des Reves circus. This is a video game where you are able to choose either Marco or Celia to explore the circus and the places the circus goes throughout Europe and parts of the US, meet the other characters and learn their magical talents, but most importantly you are “playing the game” that Celia and Marco are playing in the book. You will have to show off your talents in the circus and do better than your opponent in order to win. The catch is that you don’t know when somebody will win, so you have to do your best throughout the whole game.

In The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern Celia and Marco are put into a game as children because of their special magical talents, and have to practice them until it actually starts, which is years after they are put in it. The circus is the venue for the game and they have to use their talents to out talent the other. Celia is a performer in the circus, although her magic act is actually real compared to the other performers who are just illusionists. Marco is Chanderesh’s assistant but is still able to show his talents off. They travel with the circus throughout Europe and the US, which would be different levels of the game (each time to get to a new place; you are at the next level). Some of the places they travel to are; London, Massachusetts, Dublin, New York, Barcelona, Munich, and Vienna, which you will be able to see in the game. In the book Celia gets a letter that says “He writes back to inform her that it has been specifically designed to be manipulated by either side, so she may add whatever she wishes.” What this means is in the game you will be able to add things to the other players designs that they created, and you will be able to manipulate them in a way you want, this will show off your talents. “While the act of a fully grown (if below-average-size) woman condensing herself into such a confined space would be impressive regardless of the details of the box, it is made even more impressive in this case by the fact that this box is made of glass completely transparent.” This is a part in the book where a contortionist is performing at the circus; she puts herself in a small box and disappears. In the game you will be able to meet characters like her and interact with them to learn more about who they are.

This video game would be a great way to allow fans to interact with the characters in the book, and the places the Le Cirque des Reves night circus travels. They will actually get to become the characters and have magical talents that they get to use in a competition to try and win. This game will allow the fans to better understand the plot and the characters because they get to interact with them. You will be able to travel throughout different parts of Europe and participate in a circus without having to leave your house. This game is meant for Young adults and adults because it’s so interactive and will feel like you are really in the circus, there’s no age limit in going to a circus.
