Volcano Top Trumps: the Online Game

David Pyle October 9, 2014 Science, Uncategorized 2 Comments

After some months of testing and refining, a free-t0-use online version of Volcanoes Top Trumps has been launched by Winning Moves. This should greatly extend the reach of Volcanoes Top Trumps – which is a fun and educational game about volcanoes that has spun off from the NERC – ESRC funded project ‘STREVA‘ – Strengthening Resilience in Volcanic Areas. Why not play the online game, and then let us know what you think of it!

Volcanoes Top Trumps was created by scientists at the University of East Anglia, the University of Plymouth and the University of Oxford.

Hey David, great game! I certainly enjoyed playing it. Can I ask how much time did you spend making it? And how many people did work on it?

Cheers!

  Hi Olly – sorry that I missed your message! A team of 5 or 6 of us spent about 12 months (part time) planning and designing the concept, the design and pulling together the content,
