An online game aimed at helping children see the importance of social distancing during the coronavirus pandemic has racked up about 10,000 plays in its first two days.
Players of Can You Save the World? must keep away from people in a busy street, collect masks and avoid sneezes.
The final score illustrates how many lives have been saved by doing so.
Co-designer Prof Richard Wiseman, said it showed how "just a small amount of avoiding can save lives".
Psychologist Prof Wiseman, from the University of Hertfordshire, said he had been out for a walk during lockdown and thought social distancing "felt like a computer game" as he was "having to avoid joggers and cyclists etc".
