Bechdel Test?The Bechdel Test checks whether a game has at least two named female characters who talk to each other about something other than a man. A simple measure of representation.Fails the test

Only one named female character (Her Majesty the Queen) is mentioned in the description, making it highly unlikely for two female characters to have a conversation about something other than a man.

Parent Pro-Tip

This approach helps children develop media literacy, critical thinking skills, and a nuanced understanding of historical and political narratives, rather than passively accepting the game's inherent biases.

What your child develops

Her Majesty's SPIFFING offers significant cognitive benefits, particularly in problem-solving, strategic thinking, and critical thinking through its puzzle-driven gameplay. The witty banter and narrative focus also enhance reading comprehension and language skills.

About this game

The Empire Staggers BackIn the wake of political developments during the summer of 2016 and the events that followed, Britain found itself increasingly isolated from global society. Frustrated by the demise of this once great nation Her Majesty the Queen concluded that the elected representatives at Westminster were no longer fit to govern her United Kingdom.
