Notes

Mission: Admission began as an adaptation of the card game Application Crunch for Facebook. After initial pilot testing in collaboration with the USC Rossier School of Education, it received additional funding for development on new platforms. The latest version of Mission: Admission for iPad and web is currently being studied in 50 schools in California as a part of a Department of Education First in the World Grant awarded to the project for $3.2 million. It is part of the FutureBound Games suite.
