Hailey Yip Tsz-yu, 16, Leung Shek Chee College: I’d be Wally the Watchful Keeper, standing guard at the entrance to a vast, enchanted library. My role would be to challenge visitors before they can enter, testing their resolve. My catchphrase would be: “A riddle for entry, a tale for your soul. Speak wisely, or wander forever in the forgotten stories!”
Hugo Li Kwan-ho, 14, Tai Kwong Hilary College: If I were an NPC in a video game, no doubt I’d be a village librarian in Minecraft. My catchphrase would be “Books hold worlds”. This phrase teases the endless Minecraft knowledge in books, which is perfect for turning players into block gods without grinding forever.
Ying Lai-yan, 17, Po Leung Kuk Mrs Ma Kam Ming Cheung Fook Sien College: I believe I would be a guide on a game’s homepage and say, “Please get your rewards.” As a supportive person, I would like to help players receive their benefits. Whether in real life or a game, helping people in need, even strangers, is an important principle.
Victoria Liu, 13, St Paul’s Co-educational College: In Skyrim, I’d be a wandering sage hidden in Winterhold’s library ruins. My role: Keeper of Forgotten Tomes, guiding adventurers with cryptic wisdom instead of weapons. My catchphrase would be “Knowledge is the sharpest blade … wield it wisely.” Players would seek me when lore, riddles or hidden quests beckon.
Zhao Shuang-fei, 16, Fung Kai No 1 Secondary School: I’d be a cosy, wandering, travelling merchant NPC who shows up near campfires and saves you from running out of potions. My catchphrase would be “Adventure’s tough – let me make your journey just a little easier.”
Chan Hoi-nam, 17, Christian Alliance S.C. Chan Memorial College: If I were an NPC, I would be a fashion shop owner who sells gorgeous accessories and outfits to players, as I like to dress up. I would say, “Come and buy! Good quality and fashionable. You can catch everyone’s eyes if you wear it.”
Jillian Nicole Chak, 14, Pui Kiu College: I would be a mischievous fairy, flying around a sparkling magic world. My catchphrase would be, “Life is better with a sprinkle of magic!” I would give players fun challenges to help them unlock hidden secrets in the enchanted world.
Yolanda Yu, 14, Lung Kong WFSL Lau Wong Fat Secondary School: I would be a cheerful cafe owner NPC who gives players energy boosts and side quests. My catchphrase would be, “Take a break – even heroes need a warm drink and a cosy chat!”
Bonnie Wong, 12, Shatin Tsung Tsin School: If I were an NPC, I would help others by giving them tips, hints and techniques. My catchphrase would be, “Glad to help!” As they say, it is more blessed to give than to receive. I always feel good when I help others.
Kan Kan-yee, 16, YCH Law Chan Chor Si College: I would probably be Albert Wesker from Resident Evil, the coolest villain with shades. Wesker has some famous lines, so my catchphrase would absolutely be “Seven minutes. Seven minutes is all I can spare to play with you.”
