Credit: googleThe app, which uses the Unity Game Engine, allows you to control the cartoon-style Yeti as it walks, runs, hand glides, skates and even jetpacks around the Himalayan Mountains.
The interactive exploration includes a trip up Mt. Everest, and the entire experience uses visual prompts, goals and a host voice to aid the user in learning about the area's history and geographic profile.
The educational game is free and only available on Android here.
