Discovery Lab

DiscoveryLab is a singleplayer experience with an educational purpose: creating a virtual museum and making the most famous science experiments and inventions understandable to everyone, in particular to young people. 

It's an academic project, therefore it doesn't represent the entire experience, but only a vertical slice. 

At the beginning of the experience you find yourself stuck in a museum's entrance hall. The clock strikes 10:00 pm, thus announcing the closure of the museum. The lights turn off and the user, trapped inside, is forced to explore it to find a way to get out. 

During your adventure, you meet Wilson, a lightbulb that will guide you through the discover of the museum. In every room positioned along your path, you have to solve some tests and get the keys to unlock the doors, advance through the museum and reach the exit. 

Every test is represented by an invention: you have to reproduce its functioning, assembling its parts and learning the history and and mechanism behind it.
