Thanks to those who joined us for the Routesgame launch a few weeks ago.
Routes is the first of Channel 4 education’s big cross platform games, and over the last two weeks players have been busy Breeding with their mates on their social networks, scoring points by Sneezing on each other and collecting achievements for designing the most absurd experiments. Along the way they’ve been exposed to the fascinating world of genetics and the human genome.
Recently players have started to uncover a bigger mystery beneath the game: On the evening of the launch party the chief scientific consultant of the game, Markus Schoenberg, was found dead in a hotel in Peru. As well as disrupting our launch, the tragic news was obviously a terrible shock for his niece Rachel, who is desperate to find out what happened to her uncle.
Intrigued? Watch episode one of the Routes story.
Further episodes will be published weekly for the duration of the game, and 5 lucky winners will win a chance to feature in the finale.
