This educational game deals with teen issues in a fun way.

The game mechanic is based on a board game concept. Answering questions successfully and using objects picked up along the way, moves the users along. It can be played in single player mode or with two players in turn rotation.

The questions were developed by the BBC. User testing with the target audience was carried out during development.

Now off-line, it existed at www.bbc.co.uk/slink/love-fun/games/freak-street/play for over 7 years.
