The BBC ''[[Roblox]]'' crossover game ''[[Wonder Chase (video game)|Wonder Chase]]'' was originally published by "[[The BBC Official|Reithers]]", a group created by user "[https://www.roblox.com/users/5274360683/profile Reith1922]". This was in reference to Lord Reith, who began working for the BBC in 1922. | |||
Upon announcing the game, the group was renamed "The BBC Official".
