Designed for teens/young adults
Protagonist: Museum Security Guard
Antagonist: Art Thief & Curator Assistant
Genre: Platformer, much like Mario
Power/Props/Features: The guard’s clothing
will match what time period he is in. Gain
power-ups such as health or increased
jumping height when you discover artifacts
through out each level.
EDUCATIONAL ASPECT
• Levels are heavily based on art history, so as you enter a level
you are completely immersed in things reminiscent of that time
period. You will be surrounded by architecture, art, artifacts
and culture that surrounded the pertaining period.
• As you go on your journey, you have the opportunity to find
artifacts that are scattered throughout each level. If you find
them you will have a note pop up that gives you facts about
what you found as well as a power-up.
• When you pick up equipment such as a flash light, whip, rope,
etc. you are presented with a note that informs you about the
main artifact stolen. Each object always gives you different
information pertaining to the main artifact stolen.
