Welcome back!

On our last stop on the tour, we joined Sarah Bartlett's #IronQuest project to relive some Nostalgic Games. For our next challenge, we're tuning into Sean Miller's #DataPlusMusic to listen to The Sound of Games.

We’re challenging you to visualise your favourite games inspired music and sounds, be it the soundtrack, famous voice actors or the most challenging tracks in Heardle.
