Inside Art: An Art History Game

"I yawned and rubbed my eyes. I tried to focus on the wall of paintings in front of me. My feet were killing me. I'd rather be anywhere outside, playing with my friends, even brushing my teeth anywhere but this art museum. Then I heard a strange sound behind me..." Trapped inside a painting, you get to explore the palette, style and artist before finding your way out. I loved this interactive adventure.
