Jekyll & Hyde Revision Board Game

Welcome to 'The Shadow of Duality: The Revision Revision Board Game for The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.

This group revision board game is an entertaining way to revisit Robert Louis Stevenson’s The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde for GCSE English Literature. Groups of 4-6 players will face seven different categories of question cards and choice of pathways across the board, each presenting different outcomes and dilemmas along the way (aimed at replicating not only the duality of man but also the impact of individual choice and reputation).

The seven categories of questions are:

• Plot (recapping the plot and its development)
• Character (exploring key characters’ personalities and traits)
• Themes (examining the key themes and their impact)
• Quotes (identifying key quotes and their speakers)
• Challenge (timed challenges to test your knowledge under pressure)
• Virtues (exploring virtuous aspects like the actions of Dr Jekyll)
• Vices (examining sinful or vicious aspects like the persona of Mr Hyde)

Not only are there questions to answer, the choice to pursue Virtues and Vices questions bring individual choices. Virtues questions provide an opportunity to aid others whilst Vices questions provide an opportunity to place the self first, much like Dr Jekyll’s pursuit of the egotistical desire to be recognised in the field of Science.
