"Fighting Fantasy has in the past been used by school teachers as inspiration for creative writing exercises but this is the first time the teaching exercise has been to create a fully-featured video game," said Steve Jackson.
"Ian and I are impressed with what we've seen of the students' work so far, and we are looking forward to seeing the final results."
Jackson and Livingstone will select the competition winner on April 15, on the final day of the Gadget Show Live at the Birmingham NEC.
