CRADLE: History in Reality (MR)

Game Description:

History is crumbling and only you can save it.

Players step into the role of an apprentice historian tasked with the collection of tasks. Using MR, they interact with art and artifacts, solve quizzes, and unlock clues in a timed challenge. Objective: Educate players about objects in the museum while delivering an immersive, interactive and fun experience

The Mission: Restore the Cradle

"The Cradle is collapsing. Every artefact lost here takes its history with it — stories, knowledge, legacies — gone. You must recover them before they turn to dust and go back to the  portal."

Your journey begins as a 15th-century Benin bronze plaque materialises before you, its surface whispering forgotten truths. From there, you’ll: ✔ Decode riddles tied to real-world artefacts. ✔ Reassemble shattered relics like an Ife head or Oba’s staff. ✔ Unlock hidden knowledge not only through quizzes, but also through observation. (Tilt a plaque to reveal hidden markings, match bead patterns, etc.) ✔ Witness history come alive as each recovered piece restores part of The Cradle.

Key Features:

🔮 Time-Warped Mixed Reality

• Hold and inspect life-sized holographic artifacts in your real space.
• Watch as your real-world room transforms 

⏳ Pulse-Pounding Escape Room Mechanics

• 15-minute timer per artifact, with penalties for wrong answers (lose 30 seconds) and rewards for cleverness (find hidden clues to earn time back).
• Dynamic environments: The room physically reacts

🧩 Brain-Teasing Historical Puzzles

• Multi-layered clues: Some require real detective work, like aligning a staff’s shadow to reveal a symbol.
• 3D Mask assembly: complete assembly of the pieces to solve the puzzle.

🎭 Emotional Stakes & NPC Depth

• Ade isn’t just a guide they react to your choices. Hesitate too long? They sweat. Solve a puzzle brilliantly? They cheer.
• Fail states matter: The Cradle crumbles further with each mistake, losing color and sound.
