 ##### Game Mod Ideas
 
 As students work on **Keep Going**, we encourage them to plan out ways they can dive even deeper using the full editor after opening their game using the [SAVE TO MY PROJECTS] button. 
 
-- What other environment could my plane explore? Neighborhoods? The desert?
-- What could pop-up randomly instead of fires? Fish? Mice? Snowmen?
-- What could you move around instead of an airplane? A boat? A magnifying glass?
+- What other tiles can you add to the cave?
+- Could something chase you as you travel through the cave?
+- How can you make your truck go faster or slower with the arrow keys?
 
 ##### What's Next?
 
-When students are finished with **Save the Forest!** consider graduating them to another map to work on skills further.
