Have a Play in London

A hill of Mr Beans, made famous by comedian Rowan Atkinson and dressed in trademark tweed jacket while each clutching the iconic ‘Teddy’ bear, travelled on the Underground, went for a ride on the Coca Cola London Eye and took selfies with passers-by in Trafalgar Square.

The Beans were out on the streets to celebrate the launch of a brand new mobile game called #PlayLondon with Mr Bean, which helps visitors discover the city’s tourist highlights and forms part of a new drive to attract more UK and international visitors to the capital.

VisitLondon.com, Endemol Shine Group and Pointvoucher have worked together to develop the free to play mobile game which sees an animated #MrBean visit #London attractions. By spending time playing the game, players will be able to pick up vouchers which they can then cash in for discounts when they holiday in London, and also find great offers on locations around the city.

POKÉMON GO . . . Asia

EXPLORIENT Travel Services, a leading tour operator that organises high-end vacation experiences throughout the Asia and the Pacific Rim, will be launching the travel industry's first #Pokémon Go tours to Asia beginning with #Japan and #Hong Kong with other Asian destinations to follow.

Since the initial rollout out of Pokémon Go in July 2016, this location-based reality game instantly became a worldwide phenomenon. Starting September 2016, Explorient will be rolling out a suite of "Pokémon Go" Tours that enable travelers to experience Asia in a whole new way, motivating travelers young and old to go places they otherwise probably never see.

No longer will young travelers complain about being tired or bored on long tours and airport layovers - in fact, they now look forward to them. With their beloved Pokémon friends, PokeGyms and PokesStops accompanying them every step of the way, traveling with kids just got a lot easier.

Half-term fun and games at the Eden Project

VISITORS can play their way through half-term at #Cornwall’s #EdenProject with a wide range of oversized, retro, and traditional games to entertain all ages from May 28 to June 5. 

There will be a giant selection of hands-on games, and younger ones can explore the many play areas and hidden nooks and crannies that Eden's gardens have to offer.

In the Core building, gamers can step into the history of video games, from vintage to virtual reality. There will also be Subbuteo table tournaments and classic 8-bit games in a magnetic form on the fridges.

In the Rainforest Biome, Eden's narrators will be teaching visitors about a variety of global games, such as mancala, a strategy game played using a wooden board with hollows in and either seeds, small stones, or marbles.

Kate Francis, Eden Live Programme producer, said: ‘Game On will be a great chance for families to play and share their favourite games with one another. We are inviting visitors to come to explore the world of gaming at Eden from arcade classics to playground games. Gaming is about having fun, but it's also about being creative, collaborating, and solving problems. These are all skills that are very useful in day-to-day life. There are a lot of advantages in all of us playing games. It tests our brains, helps us think differently about our environment, and teaches us life lessons for the future, no matter how old you are!’
