UK Tour: This game is a race around Britain, starting at Belfast in Northern Ireland, and finishing in London. You move round the course by throwing a dice, and you get one throw each time you correctly answer a simple arithmetic question. If you land on one of the towns and can name the town correctly, get an extra throw of the dice.

In Town: Get to know the town and the places in it. Practise giving directions to find the most direct way to a selected destination. Use buttons (Easy Game) or enter commands yourself (Harder Game).
