Hey folks :)
I'm super excited about this project. I think you've created a great tool in guided tours and I'm looking forward to utilizing it to its full potential and in some new and perhaps unexpected ways. I'm going to pop into IRC next week to introduce the concept a bit more fully and look forward to sharing ideas. Just for clarity, I'm well aware that this project has to happen independent of EE involvement... That said, I know you're a great resource of experience and knowledge about attracting new editors, and I hope to pick up some tricks and guidance as I move forward.
Best,
Jake Orlowitz (Ocaasi)

This newest grant proposal is actually to use the existing functionality of Guided Tours and add a narrative and gamification elements on top of it using simple on-wiki tools in order to build The Wikipedia Adventure on-wiki (eliminating the need for separate dev or hosting).
Ocaasi's proposal was just approved as an Individual Engagement Grant. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/The_Wikipedia_Adventure
Congratulations! :)
