Fortnite is an online video game made by a company called Epic Games. Players can fight enemies, collect materials and items,
and make buildings. The game has three different versions, known as 'modes'. The most popular mode is called ‘Battle Royale’.

other players and survive until the end of the game. A Battle Royale begins with up to one hundred players. The last player left
alive is the winner.

dances on YouTube and other websites.
