5. Chat Box

Players can chat with other players within your class by typing here. A strict content filter is applied. Please contact us if you'd like the chat turned off for your students. Email contact@immersedgames.com from the teacher email that you used to register the account (so we can verify the authenticity of the request).

6. Hot Bar

Includes tools used to interact with characters or objects throughout the game. The numbers indicate a hot-key that will make that item activate. They can be moved around on the bar so may not always be in the same order, depending on student preference.
