Google’s latest game lets kids explore the Himalayas

by John_A

Google has leveraged Maps’ 3D imagery to build a kids game that lets them explore the Himalayas as a 500-foot Yeti called Verne. The game — built using the Unity game engine — is meant to be educational, teaching kids about the tallest mountain range in the world as they hike and fly around.

Verne can scale “Mt. Everest in seconds, skate across icy lakes, chase yaks, discover bits of information, ride a jetpack, play traditional Himalayan instruments, and more.”

Interested? You can grab Verne: The Himalayas for free from the Play Store.
