Best Education Interactive Application

Nature Road Trip, is an online game developed for Spiffy Pictures and PBS KIDS to promote one of their premiere properties, Nature Cat. The game was designed to promote a series of programs that featured national parks across the U.S. The game is the first "virtual multiplayer board game" developed and published by PBS KIDS and it features the SNL voice talents of Tarran Killam, Kate McKinnon, Bobby Moynihan, Kate Micucci, and Keenan Thompson. A big aspect of the game is that to succeed , players need to play together and cooperate, rather than compete, to achieve the final goal. Fun for kids and families of all ages.
