Seedfunded by Reedah, Xplorealms launched a single player MVP, History game, featuring the Tudors in the Apple & Google Play stores on 20 Aug 2021\. The company started redressing the inbalance in the curriculum prior to BLM, offering fact checked and culturally nuanced subjects starting with History weaving the stories of Black Tudors into the game. The app has been beta-tested with state/independent schools, youth centres and BAME communities with neuro-diverse children, parents, governors, teachers and councils all of whom have requested core subjects like Maths, English and Science in fun and fast immersive games. **Idea** Aligned with government's 'build back better' agenda, Xplorealms will build 3D immersive virtual inclusive English and Maths games for its educational mobile games app, to recover lost learning during Covid 19\.
