The popular Big Picture Interactive (BPI) archery game created for the Ranger’s Apprentice website is gaining a whole new set of fans in Australia.

The very successful Ranger’s Apprentice series originated in Australia, and readers there have been eagerly awaiting the seventh book in the series – released on 1 November 2007.

As part of their support for this New York Times bestselling series by author John Flanagan, Random House Australia has just launched their own website with polls, videos, forum and competitions.

To keep fans visiting the site up in the lead up to the latest book launch and beyond, BPI’s game has been added for more fun and games.

The engrossing archery based game was created and developed in house by our team and is used on the UK site to encourage registration and repeat visits.

Two of the books have been released in the UK so far and the third – The Icebound Land - will follow in January 2008.

Now Australian Ranger’s Apprentice fans can have a shot with the bow and arrow and see if they can beat the current high score on the board!
