Surviving 19th Century England

In this game, students guide the Davies family, now living in London, as they try and survive the difficulties of the nineteenth century while educating their children. Through this simulation, students will learn about how the industrial revolution both created new challenges and brought advances that made people’s lives better. Though it is not necessary to play it as well, this game is a follow up to “Can you survive seventeenth-century England.”
