An Adventure in Time
The Jewry Wall app brings Leicester’s Roman bath site to life in a way never seen before. In a collaboration with Tech:Squad, Firecatcher created an identity for the heritage site educational app, which fused history with new technologies to create a fun, engaging and informative app that takes viewers on an adventure through the past. From the logotype inspired by the wall itself, to the Roman style character designs and patterns, a full range of UI assets were created to support the app.

In the Dig Site game below an aerial view of a dig site appears, the player is encouraged to 'tap to dig' through different layers of ground, uncovering artefacts that were found on the original site.
Roman artefacts found at the original site were used as reference for the creation of the Dig Game, where players could uncover and learn about their own treasures.
