Cultural institutions aren’t always the best at this—we are often all in or all out. Megan Smith incisively covered the sad state of staffing in the museum industry pre-coronavirus, as well as her fears for staffers post-coronavirus, in a previous post for Museum 2.0 , so I won’t belabor this one.

It became an overnight viral sensation and cultural phenomena. It has brought augmented reality to a mainstream audience , with millions downloading the app and playing. Museums , gardens, and parks have jumped on it. Perhaps its appeal is an escape from all the bad things that are happening the world right now.

Today, the Luce Center at the Smithsonian American Art Museum (SAAM) is launching what they claim is the first ever alternate reality game (ARG) in a museum. Why would an art museum create an ARG? To expand their audiences. To tap into maker culture. Reaching Non-Gamer Audiences ARGs can be confusing.
