Buccaneers and Lobsters: Game for a child, Made by a child.

An 11-year-old Peter Fitzgerald following his father’s footsteps (Also Peter Fitzgerald – founder of the medical diagnostics company Randox Laboratories) has developed a game in just eight months, and within four weeks, he has already seen 10,000 users signing up to play.

“I saw a gap,” he said, “when I couldn’t find an interactive, multiplayer game that featured pirates after watching Pirates of the Caribbean and series such as Hornblower TV,”

Then Peter set out his plan and develop a game with the help of his partner Andrew Cuthbirth (web developer) that was aimed at ages 8-12 and set during the Napoleonic Wars.
