 ==Story==
-What is the essence of this game?
+Monarch butterfly caterpillars only eat leaves from milkweed plants, which contain special chemicals that are stored in the caterpillar's bodies and make them toxic to predators. These chemicals stay with the Monarch throughout its metamorphosis into a butterfly , making predators less likely to eat Monarch butterflies. Another butterfly that is distasteful to predators is the Viceroy, which looks very similar to the Monarch (this is known as "mimicry"). In this game, a bluejay tries to spot the lone Monarch among a group of Viceroy "mimics."
 ====Action Call====
-Compelling questions / challenges to get kids excited to play.
+As the Monarch, can you be strategic about what motions you make, and when you change the motions, to avoid detection by the bluejay? As a Viceroy, can you Pay Attention to the Monarch without looking at them? As the bluejay, can you use your Whiskers to notice who is leading the changing movement and catch the Monarch?

-*Scout playing area for hazards: tripping objects, stinging insects, trash, and much more.
 ===Mission===
-Basic game instructions.
+Explain the idea of mimicry, and that viceroys and monarchs gain protection from predators by being distasteful to them AND by looking like each other - being mimics. Explain that this game will involve mimicking others, and spotting the "original."
 ===Modify===
 Variations of the game.
