This project’s goal was to create a video game focusing on the Order of the Knights Hospitaller with the intention of attracting visitors to the Gatchina Palace Museum in Russia. The game was sponsored by Northwestern Open Technological University in conjunction with the Financial University of Russia. A prototype game was produced using Unity engine. Playtesters were surveyed to determine the game’s effect on interest in museums. Results indicate the game does increase interest, though it should be improved upon.
