(Editor’s Note: I just learned from the game’s sponsor that they have been overwhelmed by response to the game and have had to temporarily take it off-line)

Pest Private Eye is an online game where players assume the role of a “pest detective.” Their job is to rid a school of various pests.

The visuals are great, and there’s audio support for most of the text in the game. However, it does take quite a awhile for the game to load.

I’ve placed the link on my Science page.

Thanks to the Escape The Room blog for the info.

Ooops. Too much overload maybe? Site not found.

Larry, thanks for the info on this site! The game is back online at pestgame.unl.edu

It took awhile, but we had to put it on a faster server and also made some updates including skippable dialogue and separate instructions (saving the game is coming down the road) Look for more improvements in the upcoming year!

Thanks,
