ArcheoTales

ArcheoTales is an app for exploring museum exhibits and archaeological and historical sites through digital interactive scavenger hunts. Operators of historical and archaeological sites can send their visitors on a journey of discovery with ArcheoTales. Hunts are not not limited to a museum or site, but lead outdoors and into the urban space. With ArcheoTales, visitors explore the past of their surroundings and learn about history and archaeology in a fun and innovative way.

ArcheoTales create playful exhibition experiences through digital scavenger hunts on visitors' smartphones.

ArcheoTales detach the visitor experience from the exhibition space and add interactive elements to the knowledge transfer.

ArcheoTales offer curators of exhibitions numerous possibilities to create meaningful visitor experiences in a cost-effective and simple way.

ArcheoTales create entertaining and exciting adventures.

Organized as a scavenger hunt, ArcheoTales include quiz questions that are answered by using extensive game elements such as GPS locations, images, and estimators.
