Location: Museum (or wing of a museum)
Team size: 3-5 people
Audience: Children and adolescences who may not yet be invested or engaged with art.
Goals: Make the museum experience more active and more goal oriented to engage new populations with art.
Game process:
Each team receives a bag full of everyday objects at the entryway of the museum. Each object in the bag has a distinct main color that matches to a major color in one of the art pieces in the museum. Objects also contain a small identifier code.
Once all teams are prepared, they are released into the museum to match their objects to the art pieces. When they find a piece that they believe matches one of their objects, they scan the identifier code on that object to verify it, and then leave the object by the piece if it is correct. A system keeps track of the successful matches for each team, and the team that matches all their objects first is the winner.
Data: Color data from artworks and from pictures of the objects of interest.
