The Age of Turing is a transmedia project that caught my attention before it had even been produced, through a Kickstarter campaign that promises a rich storyworld with engaging game elements and clear social objectives.  

About the project

The Age of Turing is a transmedia project that caught my attention before it had even been produced, through a Kickstarter campaign that promises a rich storyworld with engaging game elements and clear social objectives.  

About the project

The Age of Turing will be an interactive multi-platform experience telling the story of an expansive alternative universe in which Alan Turing lived to see his old age. While the project itself is not a biopic on Turing, his life and legacy is what inspires the modern day characters to follow mysterious clues and unravel the multiple secrets they face along their way to overcome great dangers and difficulties.

By integrating storytelling with interactive elements like puzzles games of multiple varieties, we hope to create a powerful way to not only experience and pay forward his legacy, but also encourage learning in the fields of technology and mathematics, as well as inspire empathy, courage, generosity, and resilience.

I spoke with The Age of Turing producer April Arrglington about creating the project and its focus on Women in STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics), celebrating neurodiversity and raising awareness against discrimination of all kinds.

April also shared some tips on crowdfunding as an audience building strategy (in a nutshell; lots of time, hard work and the creation of appealing shareable content).
