Come and play our Augmented Reality Game called Secrets of Palazzo Falson.
Players will enter into a world of fantasy inspired by the artefacts of Palazzo Falson Historic House Museum. This Augmented Reality Game invites visitors to unlock the mysteries surrounding the death of the game’s lead protagonist Lady Caterina. The players will earn reward tokens as they progress in completing the game, which is entertaining and immersive. Paintings will be animated, characters will talk to you and objects will move.
It is a fully inclusive AR game that provides a Maltese and English narration and it is also text based for the benefit of the hearing-impaired community.
The project was initiated by game/interaction designer, Eleni Papadopoulou who came up with the fictional story and designed it to be developed into an augmented reality game.
The app was designed and developed by local tech company, Mighty Box. The overall supervision of the technical process was overseen by Marvin Zammit.
The app came about through a joint partnership between Epic Communications Limited and Fondazzjoni Patromonju Malti.
Secrets of Palazzo Falson can be downloaded for free on a smart phone or tablet upon purchase of a ticket at Palazzo Falson Historic House Museum in Mdina or you can simply scan the QR Code at the museum. The game is suitable for ages 9+ and children under 6 years are not permitted in the museum. Use of own headphones are recommended. The entrance ticket also entitles the visitor to tour the museum and is open from Tuesday to Sunday from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM (last entry).
