I have finally launched a brand new decision-making game about Tsarist Russia on the Eve of World War One

This simulation is designed to teach students all about the strengths, weaknesses, successes and failures of Tsarist Russia on the eve of World War One. You take on the role of Sergei Prokudin-Gorskii, a professional photographer in Tsarist Russia.

The game comes complete with a worksheet, suggested classroom tasks, a map of the adventure area, self-marking factual questions throughout the game and a whole range of full colour photos from the Prokudin-Gorskii archive (which are copyright free under the terms of his bequest). There are two versions of the game to choose from - one with 50 locations, one with 25.

Many thanks to all members who offered feedback about the activity during the design stages - I have now made a number of amendments, but if there are still issues that need addressing, please let me know!
