Full Steam Ahead

Brunel’s ss Great Britain, the Science Museum and Aardman Animations have joined forces to make this addictive ship building puzzle game.
Let Isambard Kingdom Brunel himself be your guide as you create ships to solve the same challenges which the great engineer faced when designing the ss Great Britain. Build a ship to cut through rough seas, carry as much cargo as possible, go the furthest distance and destroy opponents in tug-o-war battles.

Choose your ship’s hull material (wood or iron), engine, fuel and propulsion mechanism to overcome the challenges posed by Brunel. The better you do, the more investor confidence, and so cash, you’ll earn; giving you more funds to design bigger and better ships!

Become a great problem solver just like Brunel, and take inspirations from his determination, resilience, perseverence and his ability to learn from his mistakes.


• Eight ship building challenges posed by your guide, Brunel.
• Discover the capabilities of iron versus wood in the construction of your ship.
• Explore the difference between paddles and the screw propeller.
• Earn investor confidence for bigger and more complex ships.
• Learn about the design and construction of the ss Great Britain.
• Find out about the history of the ss Great Britain and her working life.
• Can you build a ship to rival the ss Great Britain?

Visit Brunel’s ss Great Britain to get special unlock codes for the game!

Absolutely awesome game. The visuals are beautiful. The music is gorgeous, upbeat, and consistant no matter if you mess up. Even if I failed horribly the music alone keeps me calm. I highly recommend a sandbox mode. Where you can build ships with map selection from challenges you've done. For example: In an open ocean with adjustable wave settings like in the PUSH THE BOAT challenge. Or from dock-dock like in the CRUISE CONTROL challenge. When I can travel I will definitely visit the museum.

Looks like a fun game, nice graphics. But the interface of shipbuilding is very userUNfriendly. Very difficult to line up ship parts. Its a frustration from the beginning. There is plenty room for improvement in that area. Uninstalled the game soon after started playing it, very frustrating ship building interface.

Amazing game in all areas gameplay wise. Its very nice visuals and sandbox nature are very relaxing, and fun for a challenge too. Overall though, I do wish you could implement a true sandbox level where there's no budget and you can build your hull like in master mode and perhaps more levels because I beat the whole game on a weekend but this is a great game for some quick fun, oh and ThE hUlLs DaMaGeD!! omg I love the voice actor for this game sometimes I just spam the sails to hear the lines😆

When I first played the game, everything was fantastic. You were able to design the haul the way you wanted it to be. Now, they give you some choices. But, they did away of letting you design the ship you wanted. That's why I'm giving this game 1 star...........

I would say this game is generally good and has good mechanics, but I wish they could add textures and rooms and maybe a steam stack that will redirect the smoke to the end of the new stack

I love the game...me and many others..we love the game but can you add more to the game like more challenges? More choices of items like you can control the boat or many parts of the ship? Please.....update the game please please please

I like it, but can you add some new levels? I'll rate five stars for it. Oh, and can you add cargo holds into the game? The game is not good enough. Make a Full Steam Ahead 3D. Can you add submarines, just for fun?

Guys there is no development. It's been on here for years with no updates. Some one made it, threw it out there and called it quits... Now it has a cult following but the museum can't seam to find the money for future development. Sorry, maybe some one should beg to take the project on......

ok for the master tug 'o' war just build a big ship made of iron and fill it with huge sails... it kinda rips the other ship in half but if you make the ship out of wood you get ripped in half XD. anyway great game keep it up. p.s. please add a sandbox mode with more materials and items

It's a very interesting game, and I like the context, my problem is with the glitchy engine, coal, rudder situation.
