In the Bangalore offices of Dhruva Interactive, a group of twentysomethings sit with comic books and programming manuals while their computer screens flash with images of G.I.s carrying machine guns, teenagers shooting pool in smoky halls, ogres and medieval labyrinths.

Bookings have nearly doubled in 2004, to 12,000. One big reason: cost. The trip to Petco cost $5.25 a child for the bus ride, says Woodside teacher Stacey Melhorn, while a zoo visit can cost $15.
