A little bird has brought home something shiny!
We’re thrilled to share that Planet Pigeon, our Minecraft Education experience created with PBS Nature, has won Silver at the 47th Annual Telly Awards in the Craft – Digital Environments category.
From quirky characters and snappy dialogue to a flock of fascinating facts, Planet Pigeon was a joy to bring to life. The experience combines playful storytelling with real science, inviting players to discover the surprising world of one of our most familiar — and misunderstood — birds.
To find out more about Planet Pigeon’s award, and to view the full list of winners, please visit the official Telly Awards page here.
We’re incredibly grateful to the teams at PBS and Minecraft Education, and honoured that the Telly Awards have recognised the creativity and craftsmanship behind the project.
The trophy will soon be landing at CrackedCubes HQ. Tea is guaranteed. Cake remains under discussion.
To learn more about Planet Pigeon, including the documentary that inspired it, visit the PBS Nature announcement page here.
Planet Pigeon is available for players of all ages and abilities, with clear instructions, gentle pacing, and plenty of space for curiosity. Educators can use the experience to spark discussions about adaptation, urban ecosystems, animal behaviour, and conservation. For groups, it’s a chance to explore nature’s hidden stories together. And for solo adventurers… well, it’s an excellent excuse to flap around and cause a little controlled chaos.
