Revision that feels like an adventure
Cartana is our KS3 learning adventure: sail between islands, answer quick-fire questions and battle bosses. It starts with science, with maths on the way, and launches in 2027. This December a small group of testers gets to play it first.
In the Cartana adventure, reproduction is the island The Nursery.
