Numiko are helping students revise for exams with a series of fun, educational games for GCSE Bitesize www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize.
We’ve designed three fun games that quiz students on GCSE English, Maths and Science. The games reflect a teenager’s typical environment – a desk piled high with textbooks, a laptop, mobile and fizzy drink cans for company! Distractions like text messages, IM, online video calls and phone calls try to interrupt the student – all part of the game of course!
The RU Revising games are quick to play, addictive and a fun revision alternative for a stressed GCSE student. They’re also designed to be easily updated by the BBC team should curriculum content change in the future.
I was extremely disappointed by the new version of RU Revising Science. Not only was it completely bland, humourless , but they made the decision to wipe all trace of the old version (which I love) from the Internet. Well done.
I know that the designers of the game will argue that the new version is better because ‘more modern’, but speaking as a young person, I would rather have an outdated and witty revision game than a boring and dull one with flashy iPhones.
Shame on them.
Hi – and thanks for your comments.
We’re sorry to hear you don’t like the new game! It would be really useful for us to know if there’s anything specifically you dislike about the new game – and what you liked about the old one. We want you to be happy with the games we make, and we’ll pass on your feedback to the BBC as well.
Good luck with your revision,
Tom
