As we begin a new season of Doctor Who, the BBC has teamed up with Intel to create a new mini game – giving away signed Doctor Who goodies and a Sony Ultrabook, along with 100 copies of the new Doctor Who game.
The mini-game celebrates the launch of the Doctor Who: The Eternity Clock game on Intel’s AppUp app centre (known as Knowhow in the UK). All players of the game will also receive 60% off the game.
The Knowhow and AppUp app centres, built for PCs, offer easily-downloadable programs and games – some paid-for and some free – much as the iOS and Google Play stores do for mobile.
The mini-game and offer are only live until the end of the month, so get clicking!
