At Guardian Adventures, we specialize in Transformative Game Design, a pioneering approach that integrates game mechanics with museum exhibits to foster immersive engagement and inspire personal change. We transform museum exhibits into dynamic, interactive experiences that not only educate but also motivate patrons to reflect and act on their newfound understanding.

Enhancing Museum Exhibits

Transformative Game Design can be seamlessly integrated into both existing displays and those in development, offering a flexible enhancement to traditional museum experiences. Whether it’s through digital interfaces, physical interactions, or a blend of both, our game designs are tailored to complement and amplify the educational content of each exhibit.

Existing Exhibits: We design custom game elements that visitors can interact with directly within or alongside existing displays. These elements are crafted to reflect the themes and messages of the exhibits, enriching the visitor’s engagement without altering the fundamental exhibit structure.

Exhibits Under Development: For exhibits in the planning stages, our team collaborates with curators and designers from the outset to embed transformative game mechanics into the fabric of the exhibit. This integration ensures a cohesive and immersive learning experience that is fundamentally interactive.

Cultural Considerations

At Guardian Adventures, we explore the stories of a cultures and use them to create curriculum and experiences that promote Cultural Education.  In order to prevent cultural appropriation and to assist in presenting the stories in a sensitive manner, our company hires cultural educators who are actual members of the culture that we are portraying. The cultural educators must approve all props, stories, and interactions before they are performed.

What is Transformative Game Design?

Transformative Game Design involves creating game-based interactions that are deeply embedded within the thematic content of museum exhibits. This approach leverages the psychological principles of play, narrative, and challenge to craft experiences that resonate personally with visitors, encouraging a shift in perspective and behavior.
