Celebrate the Doctor’s 50th anniversary with the new Doctor Who: Say What You See app!

Available from itunes.apple.com

For Andriod from play.google.com

For Kindle from www.amazon.co.uk

It’s Doctor Who’s 50th birthday, and UK based app developers Big Ideas Digital are celebrating with the release of their premium Doctor Who: Say What You See app, available on iOS, Android and Kindle Fire platform. Licensed by BBC Worldwide, this brain-melting puzzle game should delight Who fans around the world.

Screen-3---Gallifrey

Released today, the app combines the brain-teasing game-play Say What You See, with the international popularity of Doctor Who.
The premium app contains over 150 rebus puzzles related to the show, hidden in three large paintings. Rebus puzzles (popularized by the TV show Catchphrase in the UK, and found under Lone Star beer bottle caps in the US) are cryptic picture puzzles which suggest words or phrases. So a Doctor Who monster like a Sea Devil might be represented by a letter ‘C’ wearing devilish horns.

Each puzzle refers to a companion, gadget, episode title or monster, and it’ll take a true Whovian to unravel all 150 of them. Solving a puzzle will reward the player with a trivia-filled fact-file, including exclusive never-before revealed secrets.

Screen-2---Totters-Lane

Painted by Ex-Rare concept artist Ryan Firchau, the artwork takes players on a journey through iconic Doctor Who locations – the home of the Time Lords, Gallifrey, Totter’s Lane (The first place the TARDIS materialised on Earth), and finally, the interior of the TARDIS itself.

The Big Ideas Digital team has worked in close collaboration with BBC Worldwide to ensure the authenticity of the game, and to make sure every rivet on the TARDIS is present and correct. Jon Hamblin, Director, Big Ideas Digital comments:
“There have been many Doctor Who games in the past, but this is the first that covers the entire span of the show’s history, referencing episodes, characters and monsters from every one of its 50 years. If this isn’t the first game to appeal to old-school, hardcore fans just as much as younger fans of modern Who, then I’ll eat my Tom Baker scarf!”

      The name badge on the monkey, it’s the mathematical formula for numbers to the power of three

      ‘Fraid not! The name badge is the old name of the Doctor, created by Terrance Dicks and Malcolm Hulke in their 1973 ‘Making of Doctor Who’ book and used again by Dicks on Rassilon’s plinth in The Five Doctors. The badge solution is ‘The Name of the Doctor’. But WHERE IS THE POWER OF THREE CLUE?

    If you want the game, you have to get it in Britain. You can’t get it here in the states.

    Got this the other day and it has quite possibly got to be one of the hardest Doctor Who games ever.
