Meet the divine cast of 'GodsApp'

Welcome to GodsApp! CultureQuest was a collaboration with Meaning Machine, the Bristol Digital Games Lab, and Bristol Museum & Art Gallery. We explored new ways for museum visitors to engage with the ancient past. Our prototype brought four ancient Egyptian gods to life, allowing visitors to meet and converse with them as they explored the museum's Ancient Egypt gallery.

Partners: Bristol Digital Games Lab, Bristol Museum and Art Gallery, Meaning Machine.
