From the first years of our life, we learn by imitation and experience and, little by little, we shape our personality, build knowledge and develop the intellect.
For example, in the field of communication media, drawing is the star product most consumed in childhood, boys and girls becoming apprentices in this medium, appropriating the behaviours, values, roles and other knowledge that are transmitted by them regardless of the vulnerability of the recipients. From this approach, works such as Peppa Pig are presented, a proposal that tells the life of several families who act and dress like humans and whose protagonists are the Pig family (Peppa, George, Papa Pig and Mama Pig) .
A work that hypnotizes young children like few others and is often a lifeline for parents in distress. The same can be said of its video game adaptation, Peppa Pig: A World of Adventuresa whole experience that allows us visit various regions of the world with a lucky avatar, plus, of course, the most famous pig on television. All this while we sail on a cruise ship and do many other things.

technical part
It is not mere rhetoric to say that it seems that we are in front of the spectacle itself.
The graphic part of Peppa Pig: A World of Adventures it’s flawless, it’s something that can’t be done better, since it achieves more than its visual objective, go back to the tv series, and also always in real time, seeing the constant changes in appearance of our character reflected in all cutscenes. There isn’t a grating element, nothing you can’t see in an episode of the series, having replicated the exact same animations.
In addition, he comes to our country with voices in Spanish, with the same cast from the TV series, which is certainly much appreciated. This is a game in which there is not only dialogue in the cutscenes, but there are constant voices in the exploration of the scenarios, and having voice acting makes the experience much more pleasant for the little ones of the House.

Cultural tourism is big business. Some people seek to undertake their travels with the sole intention of having a “cultural” experience, while others may experience culture as a by-product of their travel. We can say that there is a form of cultural tourism in most holidays (even when you go on an all-inclusive trip, you can try the local beer, for example).
But what do we mean by the term “cultural tourism”? What is it about? Well, from the act of travelers visiting certain destinations to experience and learn about a specific culture. This can include many activities, such as attending events and festivals, visiting museums, and tasting local food and drink.
In the case that concerns us, we do not need to move from our home since Peppa Pig: A World of Adventures already offers endless opportunities to experience the way of life in other cities, their society and their traditions. Of course, always based on the fact that the little ones are the real protagonists here and that there are many stereotypes that are present, all based on an exaggerated and simplified perception and belief system about certain countries. Of course, none of these are offensive.
Anyway, there are a total of seven destinations that we can visit with Peppa: London, Italy, Paris, Germany, Barcelona, New York and Australia. And in each of them we can live an adventure, like the possibility of preparing a pizza or walking along Hollywood Boulevard.
Duration
How many days do I need to know the best of each city?
That’s the million dollar question: we’ve already booked the flights, we have twenty days of vacation and we want to visit as many cities as possible in a certain region, say, of Europe. How many days do we spend in Barcelona? How long will it take us to visit the most famous attractions in Paris? Is a week too long for Germany? How many days are enough to visit Italy? The answer is always the same: it depends.
With Peppa Pig: A World of Adventures this does not happen, because visit all the countries that the adventure of yesteryear offers us shouldn’t take us more than two hours.
conclusion
Video games have become the biggest entertainment industry in the world with more and more millions of people of all ages playing on computers, consoles and mobile phones. It is clear that young audiences are one of the main groups and this interactive medium has traditionally been linked to this sphere. Currently, there are video games with stories and challenges of all kinds with a wide variety of perspectives: intimate and personal stories, epic journeys through time and space, experiences full of terror, etc.
However, these are also a vector for transmitting knowledge, as well as values. And if not, tell them Peppa Pig: A World of Adventuressince it incorporates from the start what the little ones use in their lives, seeking to establish a common thread so that they can engage and participate in the design of their own learning.
