Games that take place completely in museums - an IFDB Poll
by Andrew Schultz
RSS FeedIFComp 2023 had a couple, and they reminded me of another I tested in Shufflecomp. I like having the ability to leave when I want and see what I want.
I'm looking specifically for ones with no winning or losing, and ones where you can end the game by leaving, no matter how much you've seen, are also particularly valuable. (There's a lot of overlap.) Though a score of how much you've seen is worthwhile.
Deborah Sherwood's The Finder's Commission, also in IFComp 2023, misses the cut for this poll, despite mostly being in a museum. You spend time in your own hideout/headquarters. Though having a museum caper is okay!
Hannes Schueller's Ninja's Fate would also miss the cut. It is like the other entries in spirit, but again, you do important things outside the museum.
