Your challenges

Games that bring heritage and culture to life

You’re a city, a museum, a château, an aquarium, a conference centre, an event venue…
You want to showcase your heritage with something genuinely new, offer immersive experiences to your visitors, tell your story through play…

 

A new way to explore heritage

A game brings a story to life, interactively. Players take full part in the tale they’re being told. By immersing them in specific places and cultural symbols, a game can build knowledge and appreciation of that cultural heritage. It also lets players explore historic and cultural sites in a hands-on, playful way.

Telling history through play

Games have a rare ability to transport participants into a narrative world. Players can step into the shoes of real or fictional characters from a given era. They’re placed in realistic situations and settings that help them grasp the events and mindsets of the time. Immersion drives the experience — and makes it stick.

Geolocation games

players move through real places and gather information about their history via quizzes, photos, videos or puzzles.

Historical video games

 players live out adventures in a precise historical setting, discovering key events and figures while playing an immersive video game.

Arcane works to your budget for your heritage and culture game

Picto Analyse

Getting started

If you want a customised or bespoke game to showcase your heritage, our team starts by drawing inspiration from the site, absorbing its history and designing a game end to end. Arcane’s experts will recommend the format best suited to your constraints (escape room, large-scale murder mystery, treasure hunt, board game, and more).

Budget

The budget for an off-the-shelf session depends on the activity chosen, the number of participants and the venue. Expect between €29 and €85 per person for a ready-to-play service.

Bespoke games

A bespoke game costs more than a ready-to-play one, but it pays for itself quickly if you build on replayability (running the game again with different groups). Taking all these factors into account, we’ve designed games ranging from €10,000 to €100,000.

Games that bring your venue to life

Venues are living places! They welcome people for a time — for everyday life, leisure or professional activities. To stay attractive, a venue needs to reinvent itself and offer experiences that draw visitors in or widen its audience. Games answer that need: an innovative, appealing offer, and a second layer of narrative to tell the story of the place. Games showcase heritage and culture through interactive storytelling. And for event venues, they add a thoroughly contemporary activity to the company offsite menu.

Create an experience that showcases your venue

Arcane adapts to your needs to energise your venue and enrich your offer. Our full range of ready-to-play creations is available to you, and we can also design a bespoke game for your event space. We write a scenario unique to your site and invite participants to explore it through a dedicated game. Take a look at “Le Secret de Scarlet”, created for the Radisson Blu Marne-la-Vallée !

Find your partner for running company offsites

Arcane is also the external partner for team building at the offsites hosted at your venue. Our entire catalogue of ready-to-play games is at your disposal. We can then handle the whole client relationship and logistics, while meeting your expectations on both service and commercial terms. Bringing Arcane into your offer means a partnership you can rely on. We do everything we can to guarantee our teams are available for your clients. 

Engaging new audiences

Games also let a message be shared on equal terms. It isn’t one person passing knowledge down to others: the audience actively takes part in uncovering the message. Making people actors in the story also improves how well they remember it. The debrief at the end of the game brings everyone’s knowledge and interpretations together, opening up fresh perspectives for the group as a whole.

Playing is in our nature. Just watch children, who learn tirelessly through play. As we grow up, we tend to separate the playful from the serious. Yet play remains an excellent way to learn, which is why it’s increasingly in demand for awareness-raising campaigns. Tapping into that natural appetite removes the resistance a topic can provoke, and sparks genuine enthusiasm from the very start.

What our clients say

Elise A.

We called on Arcane for our end-of-year offsite. It had been an intense year for our employees and we wanted an activity that would unite them around the company's values, while showing genuine thanks for their work. Arcane recommended “The Last Show”, adapted to the venue we'd booked. The team really listened and paid close attention to our needs. Our 150 employees loved the experience and had a genuinely fun time!

Morgan S.

In March 2020, our teams all found themselves working from home and we quickly sensed the strain of that daily distance. We asked Arcane for an adventure that would give our people a treat and rebuild connections — all remotely! We played “Crime et l'Écrivain” online and I have to say the feedback was excellent.

Stéphane R.

My team and I played War Game. I have to say I was blown away by how well this game reveals people's skills. As a manager, I got to (re)discover my team from a whole new angle.

Anne-Catherine P.

In an exceptional setting, the Parador de Sigüenza near Madrid, Arcane swept us into a game highlighting the importance of security and the way HP business PCs protect their users: a unique and hugely successful experience. Thank you, Arcane team!
