Collect facts and save the day - become an online Time Explorer with the
British Museum
Time Explorer is the new British Museum online game that invites brave
souls to travel back in time to Aztec Mexico, Imperial China, Ancient
Rome and Ancient Egypt, where dangers, puzzles and traps lie in wait.
In this interactive adventure game, players become junior curators whose
knowledge of the past, skill and courage are all needed when they're
sent back in time to help the local population rescue a treasured object
from certain destruction.
Alongside four other new online games, Time Explorer forms part of the
new British Museum website section for children: Young Explorers. The
first phase is now live and will continue to grow, offering visitors
aged 6-12 a chance to explore the collection and cultures, head behind
the scenes for a look at what we get up to, and get creative with loads
of new activities.

The Web team commissioned GR/DD to design and build the games, but it
wouldn't have been possible (or we think so good) without a lot of input
from curators across the Museum, our Schools and young audiences team
and our own developers and the IS team for doing hidden wonders to get
it on our site.
We're still building up content, and ironing out a few things in the
games, so do send us any comments. Or we'll simply see you on the
scoreboard!
Thanks,
Matthew
