We had hoped to use AR to create this event, but we were unable to find an AR engine that was easily accessible and free.
That sent us back to the drawing board. We wanted to try to send people to new locations they may not have been aware of based on a series of choices. We checked out a few different chose your own adventure generators (cyocyoa, inkle, quest, Google Docs) and ultimately decided on Twine.
Using a program called Twine, we created an interactive text based game. Depending on your level of coding knowledge, this platform can get very involved. There are additional ways to code video and sound into the story, but I have really basic coding skills at this point and need to work on that.
Candace and I decided to make an interactive game that can be found here.
Or here:
We also prepared a physical map that accompanied the tour.
While I think we had envisioned using more technology involved in the project, I ultimately enjoyed the outcome. I could have continued on and on with choices and locations.
And now I may be addicted to creating choose your own adventure stories.
We hope you enjoy it.
