Full Description

This book bridges the gap between museum professionals and game designers, providing strategies for creating engaging digital, analog, or digital/physical games for museums. Through a series of examples, templates and activities, readers of this book can learn a structured process of game design, including approaches for how to:
- Establish design parameters
- Build simple wireframes
- Create prototypes
- Work with contractors
- Build basic budgets and schedules
- Engage visitors as testers and collaborators
The book highlights the continuous cycle of testing and improvement that makes games such a lively and vibrant medium for visitor engagement. All of these techniques are tailored to the unique challenges of designing games in the museum world and include practical considerations on how to build with and within an institution.
