Instruction on how to customize NPCs are available on my previous post.
Preparation
- Designate the area where they will be found. Use a fence or an island, coloured ground, etc.
- Hide NPCs in the designated area.
- Create an item that identifies who they are. If they were born in the Netherlands then a windmill.
- Change the appearance of each NPC to look like an ancestor.
- Build a house near the NPC that looks like their house or like one they would have lived in.
- Give them a name [optional] Another part of the game might be for them to guess who this ancestor is based on their clothes, the item with them and/or their house.
Playing
Player walks around designated area looking for their relatives portrayed by NPCs.
NPC found
Once the player finds a NPC they record in their notebook [part of the Education version] one or all of the following:
- What they are wearing or their appearance
- What item is nearby.
- What website the URL took them to, or what they learned from the website listed in their description
- What type of house do they live in.
- What did they do when the player right clicked on the NPC.
- One or each character could give a clue on where to find their spouse, parent or child.

If the game is on a server, home or Minecraft, then multiple people could play at the same time. It could be a race to see who finds everyone the fastest.
If not on a server, use a timer to see who finds everyone the fastest.
Finished Locating
Once the player has visited each ancestor and recorded the clues, the player goes to a location where they have to report what they found. A jewel or rock could be at each person's location that they need to collect and bring back.
Options
Have each child and parent create a character and each family members find everyone else's characters.

Screenshots!!
If you make this game for your family, I would love to see it.
What options did you do? What were the rules? What did they have to find?
Please take a screenshot [snipping tool] and add below!! I would love to see them.
Or Tweet the pic and include me @liannekruger
