It's official! Ivor the Engine is now an iPad railway adventure game. We've collaborated with Ivor the Engine's creators, Smallfilms, to bring Ivor into the 21st century as a series of games (and soon as interactive storybooks!)
The first game we've created is called 'Ivor and the Dragon' - a kids (and bigger kids!!) adventure game where players are challenged to solve a series of puzzles and mysteries along the famous railway line featured in the British children's TV animation - Ivor the Engine, screened on the BBC in the UK during the 1960s, 70s and 80s.
If you like logical game puzzles, Ivor and the Dragon is for you! Everything you need to be successful is hidden around the game screens. Youll need to help Ivor and his engine driver, Jones the Steam, find items and make his deliveries but first youll need to work out how to light Ivors firebox he is a small green Welsh steam engine after all!
There are loads of locations to find and lots of different (and unusual!) deliveries to make. Some places that you need to get to are obvious on Ivors railway map. Other places are hidden just follow the on-screen clues to find them and unlock them!
Getting around requires some brain talent too. The railway signal box has a set of seven levers. By setting these levers in different position combinations you can get to travel to different locations like Grumbly Town, the Coal Pit and Dinwiddys Gold Mine! It's worth having a pen and paper handy to note down lever positions so you don;t forget them as you go along through the game.
The star of the show in Ivor the Engine iPad game (besides Ivor the Engine himself of course) is Idris the Dragon. If youre lucky, you might just find him up on Smoke Hill when Ivor trundles by. Go up to the top of the mountain and you could be surprised at what you find!
