According to The Guardian GamesBlog, an academic called Nipan Maniar at
Portsmouth University has developed a mobile game to aid foreign
students to fit in with the locals. We think watching Little Britain might do the trick as well.
The mobile game “C-Shock” (culture shock) has been created to teach foreign students about the British life and habits like going to the pub (binch drinking) and people being affectionate to each other in public.
"C-Shock could be used to guide students through events such as registration as well as help them with basic information like getting to a bank or ATM that’s closest to them. You could incorporate a whole city guide into the game so, in effect, the new student has this interactive learning tool to quickly settle into a new city very quickly"
