"Parents and teachers are looking for high-quality, interactive resources for 
kids to explore from home right now," says Mike Wozniewski, President of 
Hololabs, the innovative studio that released the game this week. "The 
Wollstonecraft Detective Agency helps children hone their reading, logic and 
computer programming skills by solving mysteries alongside famous historical 
figures."

Set in fascinating 1820s London, this new mobile game takes players into the 
world of a young Mary Shelley and Ada Lovelace (the first computer programmer) 
as they search for clues and catch "clever criminals". Humour, exploration and 
intrigue draw young players into brainteasers, with stories that celebrate 
science, history and friendship. 
 
Available now in App Stores, this educational and playful game includes more 
than 20 original mysteries written by the original series author Jordan 
Stratford and showcases 19th century female scientists, writers and inventors. 
"When my daughter was 9, I wanted her to have real-life role models in STEM," 
says Stratford. "The game complements the book series in the recognition that 
kids can change the world with their curiosity and imagination."

Players can put their detective skills to the test learning to code on Ada's 
"bleh" machine (based on the world's first computer), investigating suspicious 
crates on the Thames, questioning witnesses at a popular Piccadilly tea salon 
and puzzling over broken printing presses in Fleet Street. Children can even 
collect and listen to tracks on Ada's augmented reality "Music Machine".

    -- 100+ new vocabulary words and history facts to discover and collect
