You can now play the Greenland world via www.iceflowsgame.com or download the app via the App Store & Google Play Store. There is also information & videos on the science behind the game on the website.

The game was funded via a NERC grant led by Amber Leeson at Lancaster University, with Co-Is Ian Hewitt (Oxford), Dan Goldberg & Noel Gourmelen (Edinburgh), there is more info on the website about this project. The game was developed by Inhouse Visuals & Questionable Quality.
