Mission 1: The Golf of Mexico

In this Mission...

Dr. Eugene Wick I.D. and his associate Platypus have decided to turn the Gulf of Mexico into a golf course. As a double agent working for the Anti-Villainy Unit (AVU), the student's job is to foil Dr. Wick's plans by following AVU orders to make his scheme as expensive and problematic as possible. The Mission consists of 4 animation scenes, 4 math activities, and one of 3 possible endings.
