DARWIN'S TIME MACHINE

 

Experimentarium - The Time Machine

Experimentarium is a science center/museum in Denmark that aims to promote interest in natural sciences and technology by encouraging visitors to be active and curious and use their imagination. The museum has adopted a completely new approach to educational museum activities based on visitors’ active participation, experimentation and discovery.

The Challenge

The Experimentarium museum wanted to develop a game about Darwin and evolutionary theory for his 200 years anniversary in 2009. The museum asked Serious Games Interactive to take the lead in this ambitious project.

 

The Solution

Serious Games Interactive developed a 3D web-based learning game, which presents Darwin, his life and his theory for schoolchildren. The goal is to offer students an introduction to Darwin, which will provide them with a basic knowledge of him, while motivating them to read more. In the game you get to meet Darwin in 1840 - just before he draws his first sketch for the Tree of Life. Your first job is to help Darwin gather information that enables him to draw the tree.

Target group: Students 10-14 years
Platform: Single-player, web-based
Technology: Unity 3D
Playtime: 60-90 minutes
