Immersive storytelling
At the start of the journey, every participant is handed an iPad – their tool and companion for the adventure. Guided by the tour guide, these iPads become portals to the interactive experience, offering stunning videos, brain-teasing puzzles, and augmented reality scenarios that make the history of the experience come alive. Every digital interaction is curated to spark joy, stimulate curiosity, and encourage exploration.The museum becomes a treasure trove of clues and challenges as participants journey through time to assist Jo. Our collective help to Jo's guide them through different epochs, exploring and learning archeological practices such as digging, cleaning, restoring or documenting. Each step brings us closer to our goal – helping Jo find their way back home.
Co-creation process
From April 2022, creatives from Neeeu, archeology experts and a panel of users gathered for a week to learn about archeology and co-create concepts for a digital experience in the museum of archeology of Herne. The workshop took place near an archeological site in Bibracte, France, to fully immerse in the subject.
The museum as an escape room
The puzzles in Lost in Time Time are ingeniously designed to reflect various aspects of archaeological practice, making exploring history an engaging and interactive endeavour. Some challenges require strategic thinking and skill application, mirroring the meticulous process of archaeological excavation. Others are centered on exploration, offering participants a chance to immerse themselves in the diverse objects represented within the museum. Observation and memory-based tasks underscore the significance of detail and recall in preserving historical knowledge. Augmented Reality technology seamlessly merges these interactions with the museum's collection, adding a layer of wonder and magic to the experience. These varied and technology-infused puzzles provide entertainment and offer a unique, hands-on understanding of archaeology.
To be honest, I actually think museums are shit, but today was really cool!
