About this game

As the architect, designer, and curator, it’s your job to transform an empty plot of land into a cultural landmark. Create an unforgettable experience for your NPC visitors by selecting, buying, and placing artefacts throughout your new museum. If they have a great time, they might even donate a little cash before heading out!

Design your museum from the ground up! Drag out walls and create uniquely shaped rooms to give your museum a one-of-a-kind layout. A range of customisation options means you can expand and modify your building, tailoring each room for the ultimate visitor experience.

Populate your museum with fascinating artefacts from around the cosmos. Strategically place each piece to catch visitors' attention and maximise engagement. The more intrigued they are, the more they’ll donate, letting you reinvest in your museum’s development.

Your museum layout isn't just aesthetic – it’s a bustling ecosystem. NPC visitors are highly reactive to their surroundings, showing happiness (and generosity) when pleased, and behaving unpredictably if something goes wrong. And be careful not to trap them; unhappy accidents can occur if visitors find themselves stranded in the vast halls of your museum.

Winner of the TIGA Creative Assembly Best Student Game award in 2024, Curation has been celebrated for its delightful art style, inclusive design, and unique soundtrack. Lose yourself in an immersive museum-building experience with a touch of whimsy, and a sense of wonder.

Build the museum of your dreams, delight your visitors, and leave a lasting impression—it's time to curate your masterpiece!
