Encyclopedia Britannica’s Guardians of History
Time travel adventure played on Alexa and Google Voice
Britannica’s Guardians of History is an immersive audio adventure that takes you on top-secret missions into the past -- to save time from unraveling. This game is designed for 8-12 year-old kids and played on Alexa or Google Voice. Audacious Machine provided a wide variety of creative services, including world building, game design, script writing, casting voice talent, studio recording, sound design, and even creating the theme song. The result is a beautiful, cohesive story that places kids in the drivers seat.

“The team at Audacious Machine was instrumental in the success that Guardians has become. They were incredibly collaborative in shaping the concept and listened to our challenges / desires for the product. The talent, atmospheric elements and musical score that went into the immersive audio experience is top notch. This was our first entry into the voice/audio market and without their guidance and expertise the product would have been just another clone.”
