Baldric’s Trousers

On Tuesday, I was kindly given an interesting tour of some of the interactive spaces and games that Kim Anubis and her colleagues at the Magicians have created.

One of these was ‘The Spanish Kitchen, made for languagelab. com which was truly amazing.

You sit in the chair, and the abuela starts to prepare one of many meals that are loaded into the game. She asks you (audio with subtitles) to collect various items of food from around the kitchen, and slowly the dish is made. And when it’s finished, she gives you a plate of the food!

The player can select one of 3 levels (Easy-Medium-Difficult) which relate to the type of instructions you receive.
