Collect facts and save the day - become an online Time Explorer with the British Museum
Time Explorer is the new British Museum online game that invites brave souls to travel back in time to Aztec Mexico, Imperial China, Ancient Rome and Ancient Egypt, where dangers, puzzles and traps lie in wait. In this interactive adventure game, players become junior curators whose knowledge of the past, skill and courage are all needed when they're sent back in time to help the local population rescue a treasured object from certain destruction. Alongside four other new online games, Time Explorer forms part of the new British Museum website section for children: Young Explorers. The first phase is now live and will continue to grow, offering visitors aged 6-12 a chance to explore the collection and cultures, head behind the scenes for a look at what we get up to, and get creative with loads of new activities.

We're still building up content, and ironing out a few things in the games, so do send us any comments. Or we'll simply see you on the scoreboard!
