Please note that the TimeRef website is currently being redesigned.

These games have been built using Unity 3d. They are designed to run on a laptop or desktop computer with either of the Chrome, Firefox or Edge browsers. I would recommend using Chrome.

Archery Practice

Practice your archery skills by passing a series of ever more complex tests. The flight of the arrows will be affected by the wind so watch the flag at the top of the battlements and adjust your aim accordingly.

Swords Training

At the start of each lesson you must first find the trainer. He can be found by following the crossed-swords symbol on the navigation bar at the top of the screen.

Trebuchet Game (Beta Version)

Take control of a medieval trebuchet to destroy the enemy castle and capture their flag.

Instructions

  • The game have been tested on desktop Chrome and Firefox and Edge browsers. It may not work on mobile or other browsers.
  • Click the trebuchet or press the space bar to launch the projectile.
  • To get the best result wait for the basket to swing back to the left.
  • The trebuchet will reload automatically after each shot.
  • This game in under development and may be improved at a later date.

Word Games

Hidden in the grids below are a series of words related to particular medieval theme. Starting from the letter at the centre and moving a letter at a time left, right, up or down (not diagonally) spell out each word in turn. The next word follows on from the word before it. No letters are used more than once and a few are not used at all.
