The Project

We worked with 63 young people aged 11 – 19 from 3 schools to support them to create an interactive, illustrated gamebook for tablet and smartphone. Young people took part in plotting, writing, illustrating, app design and coding workshops. We had a diverse group of participants, so the workshops were targeted to their individual interests, aptitudes, abilities and educational needs. Young people worked with professional writers, illustrators, musicians and developers. The final game book is available on the iOS App Store and Google Play.

The App

In a world where robots rule the land and humans are discarded, Binary Decoded follows the story of Pye, a fourteen year old who will discover her true identity.

She thinks she’s a new experimental robot, but her world is about to be flipped upside down, and she will find out her whole life has been a lie.

Will the authorities discover her secret?

In this action packed interactive game, YOU WILL DECIDE!
