Trowel & Error: Digital Game

'Trowel & Error’ is a new digital game by Barnsley’s Poet Laureate Eloise Unerman, with the Barnsley and Rotherham Young Archaeologists' Club.

The game uses twine, a free online platform, and has a decisions and consequences format – where the player has different options to choose from, and the outcome of the game depends on the decisions they make. The player can choose one of three characters who are planning an archaeological dig, but there are some challenges and a bit of archaeology magic along the way.

Could you organise a successful archaeological dig? What will you find? Have a go and see where your archaeological adventure takes you.
