Do you remember those plastic slide puzzles you used to get in party bags?
They were made up of a three by three grid with eight tiles and a blank square – the missing tile allowing you to move the others around.

Museums around the world today face the challenge of increasing and maintaining visitor numbers, especially with younger audiences.

Miller (2008: xi) uses 'the use of interactive digital technology to tell immersive and participatory stories' as a broader definition, whilst Qiongli (2009: 230) also sees it as including narrative computer games, interactive stories and hypertext stories.
