Immersive Game Experience

Time-Traveling Navigator - AR Reality Game Box

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

《Time-Traveling Navigator》is different from the 《Dome Project》 series. It is the first AR augmented reality real-life game launched by the Chimei Museum.

Dome Project III - Doomsday Celebration

The thief group “Pan’s Sons” is making a comeback again and is about to launch the mysterious “Doomsday Celebration” plan. Can you catch the mastermind and save the world? After the last theft of the collection failed, the hidden first member “Odysseus” challenged the Six Wonders again. He sent the twelve Greek artifacts he had stolen in the past to the Chimei Museum, and at the same time claimed that he would launch a great “Doomsday Celebration” plan to plunge the world into ecstasy. As a Six Wonders player, the only clues in your hand are a photo of Odysseus that fell and four Chimei Museum staff members who have no alibi. The player’s mission is to catch Odysseus, find out the truth about the “Doomsday Celebration”, and prevent the plan from being launched!

Dome Project II - Pan's Sons

Three statues in the Chimei Museum disappeared into thin air in the middle of the night. There were no signs of damage at the scene and no monitoring images could be found. Only letters related to ancient Greek mythology were left on the display stand... When the police were fully investigating the stolen collections, the "Six Wonders" treasure hunter group, played by the players, appeared at the museum, pointing out that the thief's purpose was not to laugh at the police, but a presumptuous crime prediction! Facing the mysterious organization "Pan's Sons" one after another provocation, as a Six Wonders, will you find out the truth...or get involved in more mysteries? During the real-life game, players must solve the mysterious prediction letters issued by Pan's Sons one by one within the time limit in order to successfully protect the Greek mythology-themed collections that the thief is eager to steal, and bring all the members of Pan's Sons to justice.
