Going to the pub? Snogging in public?! If you're a foreign exchange student, stuff like that can be new, exciting, different — But mostly exciting. Says University of Portsmouth games expert Nipan Maniar:

I found some aspects of British culture very novel, and certainly things such as interacting socially with others, say, in a pub were very different to what I was used to in my own culture in India.

So Nipan decided to help. He developed a cell phone game designed to help international students find their bearings in the UK. The game can also guide students through boring things like registrations and finding a bank. Necessary sure, but not nearly as interesting as boozing and making out. Brian Ashcraft
