This 'Design a Wig' web-based game allows players to use feathers, powder and giant ship ornaments to make their own version of the fantastic hairstyles people wore in the 18th century. The engaging interactive serves as the perfect entry point to the V&A’s European galleries and has been optimised to work across a range of smartphone and tablet platforms.

The simple interface and period-accurate illustrations ensure a beautiful and ambitious creation every time, while informative captions give an insight into how these giant hairstyles were created for women in the late 18th century. Players are able to share their creations via Facebook, Pinterest or email. 'Design a Wig' quickly went viral, on sites such as The Guardian, Wired, Reddit and Harper's Bazaar - resulting in an enormous amount of interest for the exhibition.
