Escape to Culture

The project advocated the combination of Greek cultural heritage, digital technologies advancements and the implementation of innovative gamifying practices like escape games.
The project focused on the study and the design of gamified cultural experiences based on places of cultural heritage (Elefsina, Lesvos, Volos, Skiathos). The digital escape game infrastructure was highly interactive, integrating the projection of Greek landscape cultural elements and digital literary text analysis.
The related escape games were addressed to Greek and English speakers.
The project developed a digital escape game infrastructure for mobile devices and computers, with the use of Virtual Reality and Augmented reality.
The project novelty and originality lied in the combination of augmented reality and the projection of sites of major cultural significance, as well as the gamified suggestions for literary text exploitation in the two languages. According to the project escape game infrastructure, a series of user-friendly, flexible mini-games were produced and served as constructing tools for the creation of new escape games. The project implementation was assumed by three partners that complement one another, according to their expertise.
