Locate That Landmark
Locate That Landmark is a nice showcase of how education and gaming can be found in a single, simple web game. UK’s Media media house JCDecaux has always been focused on providing the best media-on-the-go, and they’re the faces behind Locate That Landmark. The game is mechanically simple, and yet has enough UI to make you really fell like you’re playing something that had time and effort invested in it, not just some quickly churned out piece of HTML5 media made by someone who just wanted to be done with it. The game has you find various British landmarks on the map, but with a pretty neat artistic style that’s easy on the eyes. As a non-UK resident, I could locate only a few of the landmarks. The only criticisms I would forward to the game is the fact that it doesn’t point you to the real location of a landmark you didn’t find, just tells you how you made a mistake and moves on.
