The challenge
FlevoMeer Bibliotheek wanted to get children excited about books and the library. During lockdown, it looked for a way to reach children at home as well.
What we delivered
Together with AppRuption, we devised and built De Boekenreismachine, a free online escape room for children aged nine and up. Players travel through imaginary worlds and solve puzzles with the help of books. We tested the game with children and adapted it to their ideas.
The result
FlevoMeer has a playful way to introduce children to books and the library. The game was played more than 8,000 times in its first months, and over ten other library organisations later joined.
