Joshua Blair, the museum's digital learning coordinator, said that the first map in the Great Fire1666 series let us make visitors feel part of London's history and the times of 1666. We were able recreate the narrow streets and iconic landmarks like St Paul's Cathedral or London Bridge to create the setting for the fire.



He added: "This second map is where you'll discover the Great Fire story. We hope that our visitors are interested in learning more about this important event in the history of London.



According to its creators the mini-games draw in historical figures including King Charles II, Thomas Farriner - whose bakery ignited the fire and also the famous diarist Samuel Pepys, who documented the fire.



The museum's Great Fire 1666 exhibit which is on display until April 2017, will feature the game.



Players will be able to download the new maps for PC and Mac from 2 September.
