From Grand Theft Auto to GCSE
From Grand Theft Auto to Standard Grade and GCSEs – GTA Designers Create Games Software for Exam Revision
Edinburgh - Tuesday 29 April 2008 –3MRT release InQuizitor Solo the addictive study game for children.
With the release of InQuizitor Solo, key designers from Grand Theft Auto have moved from sex, drugs and violence to addicting children to studying for their exams in biology, chemistry, history and other curriculum subjects.
From today children can now download and study for their Standard Grades using InQuizitor’s addictive game environment.
Designed by key members of the original Grand Theft Auto team, InQuizitor has already rolled out across 200 UK schools and has been proven in independent trials in the US to raise the attainment levels of children by 71%.
With parents concerned about their children getting better exam results and kids keen to spend their time gaming, InQuizitor keeps everyone happy.
Euan Mackenzie CEO of 3MRT said ‘We were working in schools and seeing so many children finding it tough to engage in the process of study. We knew from watching them play games and from our own gaming background that they have no problem absorbing information in a complex video game environment. InQuizitor harnesses the same psychological techniques to engage them in study and it works.’
This new InQuizitor release allows children and parents to download personal copies of the software for home use. As well as the InQuizitor game and content, parents and children can also tailor and personalise their own content and download curricula content created by teachers from across the UK.
Since its launch in schools the product has received many plaudits and has been described by one principal teacher as ‘the most innovative and stimulating piece of educational software experienced in any educational setting.’
A free trial can be downloaded from www.inquizitor.com/solo. An InQuizitor licence retails at £29.99.
