In this pa-\nper we evaluate an innovative model of creating an escape room as part of an existing\nexhibition which in a way offers a refreshed curatorship of an existing exhibition.\nThe context is a small Natural History museum in Israel that commissioned the au-\nthors to create two escape games within the exhibition space. Each was built into the\nexisting exhibition without affecting its function during the day. So the exhibition\nspace functions as a museum by day and an escape room by night. The transformation\nwas designed so that museum guides could easily with a few actions (such as opening\nhidden doors and engaging electromagnets) transform one into the other.\nIn this paper we focus on whether the model can attract new audiences, what education-\nal experience this model offers visitors and dig into visitors’ perceptions of the different\ngame elements. Data were collected from visiting groups (108 players in 35 groups) and\nfrom gamemasters’ observations (32 groups) using an online questionnaires.\nFindings indicate that the model has indeed attracted new audiences to the museum\nand that this model affords an escape game experience not unlike ones reported in the\nliterature. A deeper look into the different puzzles indicates that players enjoy hands-\non puzzles that are also intellectually challenging. The puzzle that was most favoured\nwas an experiment which includes both these attributes. A comparison of the visitor and\ngamemaster questionnaires seems to indicate that both perceive the gamemasters’ lev-\nels of involvement differently, suggesting the importance of training the gamemasters."}]}],"bf:provisionActivity":[{"@type":"bf:Publication","bf:agent":[{"@type":"schema:Organization","schema:name":[{"@value":"Department für  Kunst- und Kulturwissenschaften, Universität für Weiterbildung Krems"}]}]}],"dce:subject":[{"@type":"skos:Concept","skos:prefLabel":[{"@language":"eng","@value":"Escape games"}]},{"@type":"skos:Concept","skos:prefLabel":[{"@language":"eng","@value":"Museum education"}]},{"@type":"skos:Concept","skos:prefLabel":[{"@language":"eng","@value":"Curation"}]},{"@type":"skos:Concept","skos:prefLabel":[{"@language":"eng","@value":"Museum games"}]},{"@type":"skos:Concept","skos:prefLabel":[{"@language":"eng","@value":"Visitor experience"}]},{"@type":"skos:Concept","skos:prefLabel":[{"@language":"eng","@value":"Informal learning"}]}],"dce:title":[{"@type":"bf:Title","bf:mainTitle":[{"@language":"eng","@value":"A night in the museum"}],"bf:subtitle":[{"@language":"eng","@value":"A museum exhibition that turns into an escape room by night"}]}],"dcterms:issued":["2025-11-06"],"dcterms:language":["eng"],"dcterms:type":[{"@type":"skos:Concept","skos:exactMatch":["https:\/\/pid.phaidra.org\/vocabulary\/69ZZ-2KGX"],"skos:prefLabel":[{"@language":"eng","@value":"Text"},{"@language":"deu","@value":"Text"},{"@language":"ita","@value":"Testo"}]}],"ebucore:filename":["__DAC_ 2_01_FIN.pdf"],"ebucore:hasMimeType":["application\/pdf"],"edm:hasType":[{"@type":"skos:Concept","skos:exactMatch":["https:\/\/pid.phaidra.org\/vocabulary\/VKA6-9XTY"],"skos:prefLabel":[{"@language":"eng","@value":"journal article"},{"@language":"deu","@value":"Wissenschaftlicher Artikel"},{"@language":"ita","@value":"Articolo di rivista"}]}],"edm:rights":["http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc\/4.0\/"],"rdam:P30004":[{"@type":"ids:doi","@value":"10.48341\/q7qh-j362"}],"rdau:P60193":[{"@type":"schema:CreativeWork","bibo:volume":["2"],"dce:title":[{"@type":"bf:Title","bf:mainTitle":[{"@language":"deu","@value":"DAC - DIGITALES JOURNAL FÜR KUNST- & KULTURWISSENSCHAFTEN"}]}]}],"role:aut":[{"@type":"schema:Person","schema:affiliation":[{"@type":"schema:Organization","schema:name":[{"@value":"University of Southampton"}],"skos:exactMatch":["https:\/\/ror.org\/01ryk1543"]}],"schema:familyName":[{"@value":"Peleg"}],"schema:givenName":[{"@value":"Ran"}],"skos:exactMatch":[{"@type":"ids:orcid","@value":"0000-0002-9184-6030"}]},{"@type":"schema:Person","schema:familyName":[{"@value":"Bamberger"}],"schema:givenName":[{"@value":"Yael"}]},{"@type":"schema:Person","schema:affiliation":[{"@type":"schema:Organization","schema:name":[{"@value":"International Committee for Museums and Collections of Natural History"}]}],"schema:familyName":[{"@value":"Wolenitz"}],"schema:givenName":[{"@value":"Dorit"}]}]}
