3D Game brings tax exhibition to life

The sun setting over the sea in the cutter exhibit
The Merseyside Maritime Museum recently opened their new gallery Seized: Revenue and Customs uncovered which focuses on the work of HM Revenue and Customs (The UK tax collectors). This could have ended up as much fun as filling in your tax return but we’ve created a fully 3D simulation which lets visitors captain a customs ship on a mission to catch smugglers. The game features a huge screen and a real steering wheel and throttle. Visitors have to dodge sandbanks and other ships and catch the smugglers before they get away. It’s a great hit with visitors and often has queues of people waiting to use it.
