Global Odysee is a three-dimensional travel game designed to teach players about the world and its natural features, nations, people and cultures. It uses beautiful satellite imagery, and players can choose to travel along realistic 3-D routes between places of interest using different transportation modes. Planned regional versions of the game include American Odysee, Australian Odysee, European Odysee and Kiwi Odysee. Creator Len Wicks told TDmonthly that the following qualities set the game apart: its portrayed realism and 3-D landscape; the required strategy and decision-making; dice operation that allows for multiple and varied moves; and dual versions (home city and time limit) that cater to all needs and markets, including schools. Launch date: October 2007.
