Game Development
An interdisciplinary team of librarians, archivists, game designers, artists, and developers worked together to design and build these games. Key collaborators were Paul Darvasi, and Elisa Navarro Chinchilla of Gargamel Studio.
The first two games, Raising Spirits Part 1 and 2,听set players on a journey听across听time and听digital space in a series of multimedia puzzles听that doubly reveal and听obscure,听leading to a mystery听interwoven with 海角社区鈥檚听past, present, and future.听These two long-form narrative escape room听games deal听with a disruption on campus where players have to save the day and rid 海角社区's virtual campus of an unknown and mysterious scourge.
Quiz That So?, the third game听continues to animate the Library鈥檚 rare collections and spaces with a trivia game with a twist.听This time around, archivists, graphic designers, librarians, programmers, and students have created a colourful, 1950s-inspired, trivia game that uncovers remarkable and under-told 海角社区 stories while taking players on a search to find seven 海角社区 experts in spaces throughout a virtual campus.听
