Children’s festival on multiculturalism: Computer games and competition

Release of CDrom: Spice Adventures
produced by Majlis
(interactive game for children of 9-12 age group)
Animation: Shilpa Gupta
Script: Vibha Nijhawan

Spice Adventures is a computer based interactive adventure game based on the ethos of multi-culturalism. The programme is meant for children of 9-12 age group.

Pepper is suddenly lonely. Tejpatti, the beloved; Jeera, the buddy; Elaichitai; Clove, the Diva; Ginger, the wise man; Hingoo, the sentimental hunk - all have been chased away from Bombay. And that too for being foreigners in this land. Food had lost colour and so has life in general. Who will bring the colour and the aroma back in life and in the palate? Warning: the Mission is fraught with danger and checkered with fun.

The CD which is being developed by a group of film-makers and visual artists in Bombay, will be released during the “Import Export” festival.
