      @jack8680 Nope, a kangaroo boxing game is definitely good enough. You can use certain food as a weapon, or set the stage with Australian music. That would be really cool!

      @iTap-Development Games like @Jack8680 recommended are good! It is about creativity really!

        Another idea (just throwing them out there) is a game set place on a certain holiday, or a game where you are running to like a food market... You could put up signs n stuff.

          @gamecrazy hm... this is a pretty tough prompt.

          Does it specifically have to be about history or can it just be somewhat related? For example, is a kangaroo boxing game enough for Australia or does it need to be more related to history and culture?

          Wait..... Is kangaroo boxing a real thing in Australia? 🤣

            Australian food?

            Australian music?

            I'm trying to figure out, which is a more distasteful and talentless pile of garbage: Vegemite, or Kylie Minogue?

              @deeeds You know, Melbourne has a really active music scene right now. It is nothing short of awesome.

              Now, do yourself a favor and listen to King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizzard

                Can we get a game that explains the difference between the currently "correct" celebrating of your heritage and the currently "incorrect" ideals of supporting your nation?

                  @gamecrazy Have you been to Melbourne? I have. I wouldn't wish it on an enemy. Cold and miserable, hot and unbearable, then wet and dark, followed by bright and bitingly windy. In one day. Every day.

                    @gamecrazy The best thing about a trip to Melbourne? The Great Ocean road is epic, and travelling it in the right direction means you're leaving Melbourne.

                      Guys, it doesn't have to be history. If the player can guess where you are from, cool.

                      Celebration = have fun with it!

                        @Deeeds But seriously, if you like Tool, your music taste can't be too bad.
                        Try King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard and you will be pleasantly surprised.

                          @murtaza 😂 It's a movie. We should also make a game with people riding kangaroos because obviously people do that. @deeeds Vegemite is so good that even my cats like to lick it! You should try going up north further to Queensland in summer. I saw a Facebook post that said "I love winter in Queensland! Last year it was on a Wednesday."

                            @gamecrazy I also liked Michael Jackson and Prince. And Lionel Richie.

                                  @gamecrazy I'm probably not, but I know @Jack8680 is, he's sent me pictures/video of his kangaroo jumping around.

                                            Just put up a project called “Spot Nessie” for this. It’s a whack-a-mole type game.
                                            Have fun!
