The third installment in a series of humoristic economic strategies. Two Point Museum is about running the titular museum - we must obtain historical pieces, design the rooms, hire employees and pay attention to what museum guests are hoping to see during their visits.
Two Point Museum is the third installment in the humorous economic strategy series, initiated in 2018 by the game Two Point Hospital and continued in 2022 with Two Point Campus. The game was created by Two Point Studios team, which has been overseeing the development of the series from the beginning, while its release was handled by Sega.
Gameplay
As the title suggests, Two Point Museum allows us to create and run our own museum from scratch. By stepping into the role of a curator, we take on all the issues related to the functioning of such a place.
First and foremost, we need to send specialists on expeditions across Two Point County and beyond to search for rare artifacts and other valuable specimens from the past. We can then present the objects collected by archaeologists to museum guests. In order to do this as best as possible, we need to take care of decorations and information boards, or also mark out paths for tours and hire charismatic guides who will tell guests about the exhibits.
We should not be monothematic in this regard, as the residents of Two Point and its surroundings differ from each other in terms of interests and expectations regarding what they would like to see. So it's worth making sure that in our museum, both dinosaur fanatics and, for example, horror fans or plant lovers, can find something for themselves.
Running a museum also involves the need to employ staff who will take care of the cleanliness of the building and the condition of the exhibits, as well as maintain order among the guests (keeping thieves or unruly children away from the exhibits). Another important topic is the need to expand the museum building and create new rooms and decorate them as desired, by painting the walls, rolling out carpets or finally arranging individual exhibits.
Of course, we need money for everything, and the main source of income generated by the museum are visitors. If we meet their needs and preferences, they will spend more time with us and be more willing to reach for their wallets, leaving more cash in our register.
