Museum Games Directory

Museums and libraries across the country are hard at work creating quality games for you to play right now. Here’s a list of some of our favorite museum games.

Location-Based Digital Games

A location-based digital game lets you use a mobile device to explore a physical space. Sometimes that means it’s a text-based story or an app or a mobile website but the common factor is that you need to be AT that place in order to play; you typically can’t play from your computer at home.
