"The quality of information and methodology behind the questions is stronger than any educational game I've ever played." - K-12 Director of Technology, MD
Players have the freedom to explore the sites in any order with progress recorded in journals that log collected artifacts, field notes, and achievements.

I am an editor at UpdateStar. I started as a support engineer, and am now specialized in writing about general software topics from a usability and performance angle among others. I telecommute from UpdateStar’s Berlin office, when I am not working remote as a digital nomad for UpdateStar. When I'm not analyzing the latest software updates, you can find me exploring new cities, immersing myself in local cultures, and discovering innovative tech trends across the globe.
