Be a Bow Street Runner, and learn about Georgian history

Filed under Humanities, gaming

Bow_street_runner

The City of Vice TV series has just finished on channel 4, and last night, as the last in the series was broadcast, they launched the Bow Street Runner, an interactive computer game murder mystery for young people to learn about Georgian history in the most exciting, gory and ghoulish ways that 18th Century Covent Garden has to offer.

This is the first in a number of interactive games that channel 4 are working on to give us different, relevant and exciting ways to help people learn. Can’t wait to see what else there is coming up.
