Description

The game introduces players to the behind-the-scenes workings of the Children's Museum of Indianapolis by showing them how artifacts are chosen to create exhibits. The player is a volunteer at the Museum, and has been asked by the Exhibition Manager to help her create four different, digital exhibits. The player has the ability to explore the various storerooms in the Museum and take pictures of the artifacts in the American Collection and the World Culture Collections. The pictures of the artifacts have additional information about them, such as where they are from, where they were created, and what type of object the artifact is. By matching and comparing this information, the player must successfully create exhibits that meet the curators' specifications.
