The Hidden History of Women Game Designers
Educational games were all the rage in the early
ninteenth century. As the narrator of Sir Walter Scott's
1814 novel, Waverley, observed, "the history of England
is now reduced to a game at cards, the problems of
mathematics to puzzles and riddles." This bemusement
reflects the burgeoning industry of instructional card,
dice, and board games that sprang up in the late 1700s,
partly in response to changing attitudes towards juvenile
education outlined early on by the philosopher John
Locke a century before.
Women at the time were, of course, generally barred
from attending college and generally discouraged from
the pursuit of learning beyond acquiring the skills of a
governess. Yet the wave of enthusiasm for educational
games nevertheless created an opportunity for some
enterprising
women—despite significant structural
obstacles—to find an intellectual and creative outlet.
Standout figures in the history of game design include
Margaret Bryan, who directed a girl's school in
Blackheath in southeastern London. A writer on science
with a particular interest in astronomy, Bryan produced
the boardgame Science in Sport, or the Pleasures of
Astronomy in collaboration with the well-known game
publisher John Wallis.
This game, a variation on the staple of the Game of the
Goose (akin to Chutes and Ladders), requires players to
spin a teetotum and race their pieces along the board.
Most of the squares illustrate scientific phenomena,
explained in an accompanying rule booklet, but some
depict bad behavior, such as square six, which features
"The County Gaol...for those who attend to the motion of
Billiard Balls, more than to the motion of the Planets,"
and square twelve, which features "a blockhead." Landing on these meant losing a turn or worse, a player's
place on the board.
Learning the rules of music theory by rote could seem
tedious. But the subject itself—with its principles,
prohibitions, and occasional exceptions—lent itself to
gamification.
Other pioneering game designers include children's
author Alicia Catherine Mant, who also published an
astronomy-themed board game, while the ludic
inventions of the poet and schoolteacher Elizabeth
Rowse encompassed A Grammatical Game, in Rhyme,
by a Lady (1802) and Mythological Amusement (1804).
Perhaps the most creative arena for female game
designers, however, was music, and more specifically,
music theory. Among the middle and upper classes,
music was generally seen as a female accomplishment,
and teaching its rudiments to children was typically left to mothers, governesses, or schoolmistresses. Learning the
rules of music theory by rote could seem difficult and
tedious. But the subject itself—with its principles,
prohibitions, and occasional exceptions—lent itself
remarkably well to gamification.
The nineteenth century's best-known musical game
designer was the Edinburgh-based pianist and music
teacher Anne Young. In 1801, she received a royal
patent for a set of games intended to "render familiar and
impress upon the memory, the fundamental principles of
the science of music." The first British patent ever
granted for a game, it was also the only one awarded that
year to a female inventor, as David Ghere and Fred
Amram have discovered. Two years after the launch of
the Musical Games, Young, now the respectably married
Mrs.
Gunn, published a two-hundred-fifty page
companion treatise entitled An Introduction to Music,
which explained music theory fundamentals via
instructions for playing her Musical Games. The treatise
is organized as seven sections, each corresponding to a
different set of games, and includes a number of optional
variations, outlining twenty-two different games in total.
A handful of Young's Musical Games can be found in
libraries, museums, and private collections today. They're
luxury items: the boards were made of mahogany, while
most of the nearly two hundred parts in each
game—pins, dice, plates, and counters—were carved out
of ivory and ebony. Priced originally at seven guineas,
which was more than the annual wages of a laborer at
the time, this game set would have been affordable only
for the very wealthy.
Unlike earlier musical dice games, which were designed
to encourage composition, Musical Games aimed to
teach the rudiments of theory. Some of the games that
can be played on the set involve racing, with players
competing to move their pieces up and down various
configurations on the board. Others involve the
acquisition of points for correct answers, tallied with
delicate ivory counters. A child following the treatise's
progression of games would engage many of the
fundamentals of music theory, ranging from notation
through more advanced topics in harmony including
chord resolution and modulation.
Young's invention haunted musical journals throughout
the nineteenth century, resurfacing from time to time in
newspaper queries, sometimes from readers intrigued by
the warm endorsement it got from her husband John
Gunn, a distinguished Scottish music pedagogue who
wroteinstructional treatises. (In his writings, Gunn
protested "without having ever previously heard the name
of the ingenious and scientific Inventor, I was struck with
the merits of these Games.") Interestingly, the Musical
Games reappear nearly a century later in the essay
"Games of Music," published in 1907 in the
London-based magazine The Musical Times by Bertha
Harrison, who was very likely the anti-suffrage activist
also known as Ethel Bertha Harrison. Harrison was
interested in music history—her earlier writings in The
Musical Times had treated topics such as child prodigies
and historic concert venues—but it was only in her essay on musical games that she revealed her political
leanings.
In
what may be one of the earliest pieces of
ludomusicology, the study of music and games,
Harrison's essay surveys the role of musical games from
the eighteenth century to her present day. Although she
ostensibly examines musical games in general, most of
her article is dedicated to Young, whom she
characterizes as a woman "possessed of an uncommon
order of mind." Harrison describes Young's games as "so
clever and ingenious, so full of nice detail, that all the
music games of the present day seem poor in design and
clumsy in execution in comparison with it."
However, the crux of Harrison's argument appears in a
subsequent paragraph, where she struggles to put a
positive spin on the striking disparity in the quality of
games designed by women and men, writing that "is a
curious and interesting fact that, among musical games,
those invented by women are very complicated and
extraordinarily full of detail, while those invented by men
are, with very rare exceptions, quite simple and generally
adaptations from other games. From this we may draw
one of two conclusions: either that in this particular line
woman has more originality than man, or that when she
begins to invent, her mind becomes so engrossed with
details as to lose sight of the main issue, and, in the
words of the proverb, she cannot see the wood for the
trees."
Conceding that women might be intrinsically better at
musical game design, Harrison immediately undercuts
this notion with the claim that women are overly
concerned with details, and that is why their games tend
to be more complex. The stereotype of the detail-oriented
woman, as exemplified in this example, is a trope that, as
Naomi Schor reminds us, has informed and limited
understandings of female ability for centuries.
Harrison's critique notwithstanding, the nineteenth
century saw many impressive music educational games
invented by women. The 1851 Great Exhibition in London
featured Gioco di Euterpe, (a game whose name invokes
the Greek goddess of music) designed by Abelinde
Prince and "intended to assist beginners in the
knowledge of the relative value of musical characters,
and to render them good timeists." The editor of The
Girl's Own Book (1869) described a game developed by
an anonymous female friend, entitled "Sir Samuel
Semibreve," which taught sight-singing and could be
ordered from a music shop in Middlesex.
Across the Atlantic, Abbie T. Hays, principal of a music
school in Wichita, Kansas, filed a patent in 1895 for a
"musical game device" designed to teach notation with
pictures depicting the words spelled out by note-names
(think B-A-G or B-E-E). Later that year, Sarah W.
Featherstone, a schoolteacher in Toledo, Ohio, filed a
patent for Nota Bene, which used a spinning wheel to
teach children rhythm. And in 1897, the enterpreneurial
Evelyn Fletcher of Toronto filed both Canadian and US
patents for a Music Block Game. Her "Fletcher Music
Method" would later be endorsed by luminaries such as John Philip Sousa and Hugo Riemann, and it was highly
popular with schoolteachers. This is just a small selection
of the names and devices that pop out of the archive.
In my experience searching historical patent records, one
is more likely to come across games designed by women
than by men. Bertha Harrison seems to have gotten that
right, at least!
Today, using gamification to teach music seems like a
no-brainer. Indeed, many music videogames have
become wildly popular—think instrument-based rhythm
games like Guitar Hero. While these games generally
teach synchronization, there are also plenty of music
theory games available to try online, such as ToneGym,
Solfege Story, or Chet — Ear Training. Although these
modern creations would have been unthinkable a
hundred years ago, these games are still part of an
unusual—and unusually female—tradition.

AI teachers and cybernetics - what could the world look like
in 2050?
Laura Cress - Technology reporter
The last 25 years has seen some mind-bending
technological changes. At the start of the century, most
computers connected to the internet with noisy dial-up
connections, Netflix was an online DVD rental company, and
the vast majority of people hadn't even heard of a smartphone.
Fast forward two and a half decades, and innovations in AI,
robotics and much else besides are emerging at an incredible
rate. So we decided to ask experts what the next 25 years could
bring. Here are their predictions for the technology we'll be
using by 2050 - and how it could reshape our lives.
Merging humans and machines
Science fiction set in the 2050s is full of examples of
humans using technological enhancements to feel fitter, happier
and more productive. In the 2000 hit game Deus Ex - set in 2052
- the player can inject themselves with tiny robots called
“nanites”. These microscopic robots manipulate matter on
atomic levels, giving superhuman abilities such as enhanced
speed and the ability to see in the dark. It sounds like something
from the distant future, but nanotechnology - engineering at a
scale of millionths of a millimetre - is already used in lots of
everyday real-life tech. In fact, it is powering the way you are
reading these very words right now - every smartphone or
computer is run by a central chip made up of billions of tiny
transistors - electrical components built on a nanoscale to speed
up data processing. Professor Steven Bramwell at the London
Centre for Nanotechnology told the BBC by 2050 we should
expect the lines between machines, electronics and biology to
be “significantly blurred”. That means we could see
nanotechnology implants by then - but more to “monitor your
health or aid communication” rather than to appear invisible, as
in Deus Ex. Medicine could also make common use of
machines at a nanometre scale to “deliver drugs to exactly
where they need to go”, said Professor Bramwell. Cybernetics
professor Kevin Warwick is equally interested in studying
augmentations, going one step further than most. In 1998 he
became the first human to have a microchip implanted into his
nervous system, earning him the title “Captain Cyborg”.
Professor Warwick believes by 2050, advancements in
cybernetics - the science studying the links between natural and
mechanical systems - could lead to trailblazing treatments for
diseases. He predicts the use of “deep brain electronic
stimulation” as a partial treatment for some conditions such as
schizophrenia, rather than medicine. He adds it is likely we'll
see more cybernetic enhancements of the kind he has already
trialled himself, so that “your brain and body can be in different
places”. And what if we wanted to test out how the latest
enhancement, or even new diet worked on our bodies, without
any risks of experiencing the side effects? Professor Roger
Highfield, Science Director of the Science Museum, believes
“digital twins” - virtual versions of a physical object, updated
using real time data - could become a regular feature in our
lives. He imagines a world where each of us could have
“thousands of simplified twins”, using them to explore how
“different medications or lifestyle changes affect your unique
biology”. In other words, we could preview our futures before
we live them.
The next generation of AI
Many technology firms, including Google and IBM, are
currently locked in a multi-billion dollar race to revolutionise
how we push fields like AI even further - in the form
of quantum computing. Quantum computers are machines
which can do very complex calculations at incredibly fast
speeds - for example, simulating molecular interactions to
design new drugs faster. In January 2025, Jensen Huang - boss
of the leading chip firm Nvidia - said he believed “very useful”
quantum computing would come in 20 years. AI itself will
undoubtedly continue to loom large in our society as we journey
towards the half century mark. Futurist and author Tracey
Follows, who helped write a White Paper on UK education in
2050, believes learning will take place across “virtual and
physical realities” using AI teachers which “adjust in real time”.
Rather than textbooks, she predicts children will use
“immersive simulations”. Meanwhile, education will be less
standardised, with each child's individual DNA or biometric
data studied to understand how they learn best.

'It's Happening': Daniel Johns Drops More Teases
After Making Shock Appearance at Silverchair
Tribute Show
Daniel Johns has been sharing cryptic messages in
recent months, and fans are only asking more questions
The iconic Australian musician has been sharing cryptic
messages in recent months, and fans are only asking
more questions on the back of his latest social media
post.
In clips shared to the Silverchair frontman's Instagram,
captioned "It's happening", it was revealed that Johns
made a surprise appearance at the soundcheck of local
band The Lizards' show earlier this year at Little Bosa in
Port Elliot, South Adelaide. The band were playing
Silverchair's debut album Frogstomp in full to celebrate
the record's 30th anniversary.
Per the video, Johns "just rocks up at soundcheck,
played with The Lizards for a bit, did a jam, and it was
just really odd", before returning later in the night for the
gig. He is believed to have shown up quietly as the show
started as "Dan didn't want to freak anyone out" and
watched from the kitchen: "Then Dan just disappeared.
Just vanished. It was so trippy, but it happened. I filmed a
bit on my phone because I knew no one would believe
me. It was crazy."
It comes after Johns posted a black-and-white Polaroid
on his Instagram in June, paired with short clips of
himself tearing through a frantic guitar piece. The
captions read: "5 Minute Warning," "Stand 'em up against
the wall," and "This concludes the intermission — see
you in 1995. #FutureNever."
The posts continue a run of unusual updates in recent
weeks, with Johns dropping hints about "time travelling"
and slipping in references to 1994.
For Johns, 1994 is more than just a throwback. It was the
year Silverchair broke through with their debut EP
Tomorrow, whose title track topped the ARIA Charts.
Back in April, on his 46th birthday, Johns reemerged on
Instagram for the first time since October 2023, writing: "I
have to go back in time to finalise something."
Silverchair celebrated the Frogstomp anniversary with a
special event in Sydney in March, though Johns was not
in attendance.
In 2023, his Silverchair bandmates Ben Gillies and Chris
Joannou teamed up to release the memoir Love & Pain,
which covered the rise of Silverchair as a burgeoning trio
from Newcastle to one of the world's biggest acts.
At the time, Johns pushed for the removal of a two-part
Australian Story documentary from ABC iView ahead of
the book's release, claiming he had not cleared the rights
to Silverchair songs being used in the programme.
"I was and remain incredibly supportive of them telling
their story," Johns wrote on Instagram.
"I was asked at the end of filming to be interviewed about
their contribution to the band and although I wished them
all the best, I respectfully declined for one reason.
"I haven't been involved in the book nor am I aware of the
contents. I've asked on many occasions to read the book
but haven't been sent a copy, consequently I was
uncomfortable being interviewed to help promote it."
Johns' last offering of new music came in 2022 with his
second studio album, FutureNever, which also hit #1 in
Australia and picked up ARIA, APRA and AIR Award
nominations.

Underground library in Warsaw metro invites
commuters to trade scrolling for stories
In Warsaw’s Targówek district, a metro ride has
become more than a daily routine. Now it offers a
chance to escape into a story. Thanks to Metroteka, a
newly opened subterranean library inside the
Kondratowicza M2 metro station, commuters can now
trade mindless scrolling for meaningful reading.
The 150-square-meter space is stocked with more than
16,000 books, all available through a fast self-checkout
system. Visitors can also borrow laptops, sip
complimentary coffee, and unwind in a cozy communal
area, all while waiting for their train.
“Our dream is for Metroteka to become an educational
and cultural center, and not just a place where you can
borrow your books from,” says Grażyna StrzelczakBatkowska, deputy director of the Targówek library.
A modern space that breathes life into books
Metroteka’s design is as inviting as its mission. A lush
hydroponic garden wall filled with herbs and flowers
gives the underground space a breath of fresh air,
literally. Basil, oregano, and other plants grow without
soil or sunlight, infusing the library with an unexpected
sense of vitality. The bookshelves, shaped like soft,
undulating waves, add to the organic feel.
“I always joke that books are not made of glass,”
Strzelczak-Batkowska says. “You can just pop in, grab
a few, throw them on a self-checkout machine, and
that’s it—you’re out on a new adventure.”
Aiming to reverse a national trend
Poland’s reading habits have been in steady decline for
years. A 2024 survey by the National Library of Poland
found that only 41 percent of respondents had read at
least one book in the past year. According to Tomasz
Makowski, director of the National Library, the legacy
of war has shaped these numbers. During World War
II, Poland lost 70 percent of its libraries.
“We had several generations that did not see their
parents or grandparents in front of a wall of books,”
Makowski says. “Reading is [also] not something
associated with adulthood, but with schools, teachers,
librarians, and usually mothers reading to children.”
By placing literature in the path of everyday
commuters, Metroteka hopes to shift that cultural
perception.
An open invitation to all
For Makowski, the location is just as important as the
books. “Opening a library in a metro station is like a
dream for us,” he says. “Libraries should be beautiful
and open; inviting, not intimidating. It’s not a shrine, but
a place where you can spend time freely, take part in
discussions, public consultations, or meet people.”
In the coming months, Metroteka plans to host author
readings, workshops, and classes to further engage the
community. Books can be returned either directly to the
library or via parcel lockers outside the station,
available around the clock.
As commuters pass through Kondratowicza station
with coffee in hand and a novel tucked under one arm,
Metroteka quietly transforms daily routines into cultural
moments. By meeting people where they are, literally
underground, the library isn’t just promoting reading.
It’s redefining what public space can offer.

Consider paragraphs 06 and 07 of the text:
Poland’s reading habits have been in steady decline for years. A 2024 survey by the National Library of Poland found that only 41 percent of respondents had read at least one book in the past year. According to Tomasz Makowski, director of the National Library, the legacy of war has shaped these numbers. During World War II, Poland lost 70 percent of its libraries.
“We had several generations that did not see their parents or grandparents in front of a wall of books,” Makowski says. “Reading is [also] not something associated with adulthood, but with schools, teachers, librarians, and usually mothers reading to children.”

Why art gallery visits may be one of the healthiest
habits you can build
This year’s top Health stories celebrate the kind of
progress that hits close to home: advances that help
us live longer, feel better, and take care of one
another. From mental health wins to medical
innovations, these 2025 highlights are all about
healing, hope, and human potential.
Most of us know the feeling of standing in front of a
painting that makes us pause. Maybe it’s a burst of
color that lifts our mood or a quiet scene that steadies
the mind. Either way, a new study from King’s College
London suggests that these moments are doing far
more than sparking emotion. Researchers have found
measurable evidence that viewing original art can
support both mental health and long-term physical wellbeing.
Their findings point to something powerful: spending
even a short amount of time with original artworks may
reduce stress, improve emotional balance, and
potentially contribute to a longer, healthier life. And the
best part is that you do not need to be an art expert to
benefit.
What the study actually measured
To explore the connection between art and health,
researchers invited fifty healthy adults between the
ages of eighteen and forty to take part in an experiment.
One group visited The Courtauld Gallery in London,
where they viewed original masterpieces by artists
including Vincent van Gogh and Édouard Manet. A
second group viewed high-quality reproductions in a
non-gallery setting.
Participants wore sensors that tracked heart rate, skin
temperature, and other subtle responses. They also
provided saliva samples before and after the
experience so researchers could measure changes in
stress and inflammation.
The results were striking:
Cortisol, better known as the body’s primary stress
hormone, fell by 22 percent among gallery visitors.
Those who saw reproductions saw only an eight
percent drop.
Pro-inflammatory cytokines decreased by 30 percent
in the gallery group and 28 percent in the reproduction
group.
Gallery visitors also showed signs of emotional
engagement, including small drops in skin temperature
and variation in heart-rate patterns.
These shifts matter because high cortisol and
inflammation are linked to chronic conditions such as
anxiety, heart disease, and diabetes. In other words,
your quiet moment with an original painting could be
supporting your long-term health in ways you cannot
feel immediately.
Why original art matters even more
Although both groups experienced some positive
changes, the impact was stronger for those who viewed
original artworks. Researchers believe that the
immersive environment of a gallery adds layers of
sensory experience with elements that highlight space,
scale, texture, and atmosphere. These aspects work
together to deepen the body’s response.
Importantly, the researchers emphasized that the
benefits appeared regardless of art knowledge or
emotional intelligence. You do not need to understand
an artist’s entire catalog or even consider yourself an
“art person” to gain something meaningful.
A simple, accessible step toward wellbeing
The implications of this study reach beyond museum
walls. These findings help pave the way for broader
integration of art and wellbeing, offering a low-cost and
accessible option for reducing loneliness, easing
depression, and improving life satisfaction.
And while art may not replace clinical care, it can be a
gentle, joyful tool to add to your wellness routine. The
next time you find yourself lingering in front of a
painting, know that your body is responding in ways
that support you; calming, stimulating, and restoring at
the same time.
