A COLLABORATIVE JOURNEY

Olly’s Adventures: The City of Two Languages is the result of a unique collaboration between Flying Squirrel Games and the University of Malta. What began as an academic study quickly evolved into an engaging, educational, and interactive board game that brings the magic of learning languages to life.

By combining Flying Squirrel Games’ passion for creating meaningful, family-friendly entertainment with the University of Malta’s commitment to research and education, this project bridges the gap between play and learning in a way that’s both fun and impactful.
