About the Game

Peer Gynt the Game" is an educational narrative journey for children.
The game takes you through the five act play by the Norwegian dramatist Henrik Ibsen in an interactive way. The tales about Peer have been told through generations, and these, together with the nature and culture in the valley, is what inspired Henrik Ibsen to write the dramatic poem.
You'll explore the nature and culture of Norway, speak with characters from the book, reflect over choices, and experience the challenges that lie in Peer's darker side as he escapes from reality. You will be part of the story which led to the creation of Griegg’s world famous piece - the “Hall of the Mountain King”.
