The Code of Narammurabi
“Rules for honorable scholars, snack-keepers, and pixel-adventurers.”
Before the games begin, one must know the law! Step into the classroom court of Narammurabi and test your judgment.
Classroom archive of games, readings, and historical experiments
Hello there. Stay a while and listen!
Welcome to the workshop of Narammurabi, where ancient empires, trade routes, dynasties, and bad decisions become classroom games.
To some, I am known as King Narammurabi, but others call me Mister Pharaohmore Naramore.
The name is negotiable. The mission is not: build silly simulations, interactive readings, and quick study tools that make history a little less dull.
My students seem to approve. They replay the disasters, test their luck again, and keep asking for one more round.

About
I’m Mr. Naramore. I teach social studies (and my students sometimes call me Mr. Narammurabi or
Pharaohmore Naramore).
I create educational games and resources for my students, and share them here for free.
Narammurabi: builder of timelines, sketcher of silly games, and keeper of snacks.
If a lesson can become a game, a strange challenge, or an interactive study helper, it probably will.
