New BBC Game Show to be Filmed in the British Museum

About's guide to American History, Jen Rosenberg, reports on a new game show borne of the new puzzle craze out of the Da Vinci Code, hosted by (and at) the British Museum and hosted by that quintessential man of history, Tony Robinson of Blackadder fame. The game, called Codex, involves people using real artifacts to solve a historic puzzle, and it will be filmed in the galleries and Great Court of the BM, with a code-breaking finale in the Round Room.
