Immersive Game Experience

Time-Traveling Navigator - AR Immersive Game Box

Combining AR augmented reality, it brings players an immersive experience that blends virtual and real, and together with you, uncovers the secret that spans 400 years!

"Time-Traveling Navigator" is different from the "Dome Project" series; it is the Chimei Museum's first immersive game with AR augmented reality functionality.

Players will take on the role of a museum curator and meet Hans, a navigator who has traveled through time to the present day. Players must follow Hans's narrative to find clues in the permanent exhibition, and then use their mobile phones and props to solve puzzles, step by step, to uncover the truth behind Hans's time travel!

Dome Project III: Doomsday Celebration

The return of the theft group “Children of Pan” is about to launch the mysterious “Doomsday Celebration” project. Can you catch the mastermind and save the world? After their last attempt to steal artifacts failed, Odysseus, the hidden first member, once again challenged the Six Knights. He sent twelve stolen Greek artifacts to the Chimei Museum, while claiming to launch the grand “Doomsday Celebration” project, plunging the world into ecstasy. As a player and one of the Six Knights, the only clues you have are a photo dropped by Odysseus and four Chimei Museum curators who have no alibi. Your mission is to catch Odysseus, uncover the true nature of the “Doomsday Celebration,” and stop the project from launching!

Dome Project II: Children of Pan

Three statues in the Chimei Museum mysteriously disappeared in the middle of the night. There were no signs of forced entry, no surveillance footage, and only a letter related to ancient Greek mythology was left on the display stand... While the police were fully investigating the stolen artifacts, the "Six Knights" treasure hunter group, played by the players, appeared at the museum, pointing out that the thief's purpose was not to mock the police, but a brazen crime予告! Facing the repeated provocations from the mysterious organization "Children of Pan," as one of the Six Knights, will you uncover the truth... or get entangled in more mysteries? During the immersive game, players must solve the mysterious premonition letters sent by the Children of Pan within a time limit to successfully protect the Greek mythology-themed artifacts that the phantom thief desperately wants to steal, and bring all members of the Children of Pan to justice. While apprehending the phantom thief, the audience can also learn about the Greek mythology-themed artifacts and stories in the permanent exhibition.
