Bookchase®

Roald Dahl® Bookchase®

It's official. We're now developing a brand new version of Bookchase® for kids (and for the adults who never quite grew up!). It's based on all the written works of Roald Dahl - one of the world's most popular children's authors. The game will feature fantastic illustrations from Quentin Blake who illustrated many of Dahl's books. We hope the game will launch Jan/Feb 2009 and we plan to go on tour with a giant version - perhaps borrowed from the BFG!!!

Bookchase® or chasse de livre?

So many enquiries about localising Bookchase® and acquiring rights for different territories. Raises all sorts of questions about the nature of the global village. Everyone loves the idea of being able to create your own question sets and customise based on what book you're reading this week. Onwards and inwards...

Where can you get Bookchase®?

I'm already being asked where people can buy Bookchase. Well, obviously from us. Definitely from Waterstones in the next few weeks and from quite few other people once they get to hear about it I'm sure. You can also email bookchase@artmeetsmatter.com

Bookchase® in Croatia?

Had a warm, friendly chat with an ex-barrister called Jerina from Croatia who has given up law because she feels it is corrupting and too slow to change to the needs of modern society. She was enthusiastic about the nature of ideas and a genuinely friendly person. We swapped stories about Lizzie Magie's first version of the game which later became Monopoly (via Charles Darrow) - and originally called The Landlord's Game - actually a moral game against the evils of property ownership and capitalism.

She loved Bookchase and was very keen to explore a version in Serbo-Croat? Can't quite get my head around this one. Lots of questions about this: What is Bookchase in Serbo-Croat? How big is Serbia?...
