Screen sizing
Tried to play but couldn't get the screen to fit, it was too small to read on opening the game and zooming only took you in to an unmoveable area
Any tips?
Hi Vanessa, Sorry you are
Hi Vanessa,
Sorry you are having problems with the interactive on Great Thinkers. We have tried to replicate the problem but are having no success.
Could you possibly send us the page url and also let us know which browser you are using, we've had a few hiccups with Internet Explorer lately.
Many thanks Vanessa.
