font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">In the “game,” a player arrives as the new footman at Downton Abbey, where he is greeted by Carson and promptely sent to complete tasks (cigar-fetching, pillow-fluffing, cutlery-identifying) that aren’t so different from what Daisy, Thomas, Anna and the rest of the downstairs staff do week in and week out. We love the game as is, but might we suggest a challenge in which we help carry a dead Turkish diplomat out of Lady Mary's bed or add an egg to Mrs. Patmore's hollandaise sauce before it curdles?</div><div style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">Alas, “Downton Abbey” is not a actually video game (yet), but why not follow in Lady Edith’s footsteps and start a letter-writing campaign to make it a reality?</div><br /><br /></div>
