Wicket Gaming's subsidiary Wegesrand´s museum game "Abenteuer Hanse" nominated for "Best Serious Game"
Wicket Gaming's subsidiary Wegesrand has been nominated in the category “Best Serious Game” at the German Computer Game Award 2023 for its museum app "Abenteuer Hanse".
The app, which enables young and old visitors to go on a very special discovery tour in the European Hanse Museum Lübec, links virtual content with the exhibition, creating a new, playful access to the history of the Hanseatic League.
"This nomination makes the whole team proud and confirms our competence in the field of digitization for museums and exhibitions. Especially considering that this is a museum project, which is considered to be somewhat of an unusual niche, it is a great success for us. We explicitly thank Dr. Felicia Sternfeld and the team from the European Hanse Museum for the great cooperation and for their willingness to try out such innovative solutions in the museum," says Paul Lanzendorf. Head of Education at Wegesrand, adding that; "The use of gamification and serious games opens new contemporary perspectives for playful cultural mediation. In combination with augmented reality, entirely new perspectives emerge."
Wegesrand works with similar projects for other museums including the Forschungsmuseen of the Leibniz-Society, the National Museum Zurich, the Stiftung Preußischer Kulturbesitz, the Hermanns Monument in Detmold, the Ludwig Erhard Centre(LEZ) in Fuerth, the Neanderthal Museum in Mettmann, the LWL Prussia Museum in Minden, the Clemens Sels Museum Neuss or the Kunsthalle Mannheim.
