Interactive sugar hit
To create an interactive game to highlight one of our largest special collections, the cookery collection. Our curator of Special Collections and graphic designer worked together to uncover interesting pieces that could be digitised. To encourage people to play the game we created some competition with coffee vouchers for the top three scores at the end of the week. To keep track of our winning entrants, students took photos of their high scores and posted on Twitter or Instagram using #DLGameOn.
