The Beyond Our World Game Space at Adventure Science Center
A multiplayer game that’s one part science and one part science fiction helps get visitors excited about learning more about the universe. As visitors command their own space ship and attempt to discover an extra-solar planet in the game “Beyond Our World”, they learn a lot about the many elements of our complex universe.
With four stations (space ships) and a "big board" (scoreboard), this network-based board game lets visitors play against each other. The object of the game is simple: guide your ship out of the solar system to reach a new planet. Visitors rack up points along the way as they answer questions, make discoveries and avoid a series of hazards. The big board keeps track of the ships’ locations and lets everyone know how each ship is faring.
Ideum worked with Adventure Science Center to paper prototype the game long before we began to develop the software. The paper version of the game drove the development process. Once the paper version was structured properly, we could then focus on the software development and communications aspects of the game.
This multiplayer computer-based exhibit was developed by Ideum with the Adventure Science Center in Nashville, Tennessee. To learn more about this exhibit please visit our portfolio.
