BBC Interactive recently launched an all-new interactive Doctor Who-themed game called The Savior of Time. Rather than playing through an app or web browser, fans of the TV series must engage the Doctor Who Bot on Skype.
After adding the Doctor Who Bot to their contact list on Skype, users are able to begin a six-part adventure game where they must work together with The Doctor to find the Key to Time. The game involves a variety of challenges that include puzzles, texts and videos that make the most of Skype's communication platform.
To coincide with the release of each Doctor Who Series 10 episode, BBC is launching the six instalments of The Savior of Time following each new episode.
