But it's a lot of fun, and it could be a great way to construct a personalized takeaway from a museum experience. Sometimes there's a proferred question to answer mentally. I remember the first time an artist friend of mine took me to a museum and I watched him laugh at some of the art. The artist made something funny."

This was the question at the heart of last week''s MuseumCamp. We encouraged teams to think like artists, not researchers. My favorite example of this was the One Minute Art Project group, which rebranded a fairly standard sticker survey into a "fast, fun, free and easy" activity. You run a program.

When talking about active audience engagement with friends in the museum field, I often hear one frustrated question: how can we get adults to participate? They're playing video games. We assume that adults don't want to do crafts or play games--that they want the "serious" stuff. They're going to trivia night.

NFTs might put the “fun” in Nonfungible, but they come with plenty of significant challenges as well. As fundraisers, it’s worth thinking about what assets your organization might be able to auction off, but there are still lots of questions. Fun fundraising with gamers. Not all fun and games. Another downside?

Not only do I get to experience the fun of opening the door to something mystical, I get to play porter and grant my friends access as well. I think one answer to these questions (not a business answer), and the final reason we love secret places, is that they are a little crazy. They don't fit our expectations.

And while I enjoy working with youth and consuming their creations as a museum visitor, I'd like to call into question the idea that they are or should be the primary audience for participatory experiences. Why are teens over-represented in participatory projects? Museums are not in the business of giving anyone who wants one a soapbox.

We experimented with many different forms of visitor participation throughout the building, trying to balance social and individual, text-based and artistic, cerebral and silly.

They're investigating how short, 140-character contributions can build upon each other to create a non-linear narrative – like a Choose Your Own Adventure story or a game of Consequences.
