Rijksmuseum

Mysteries and stories about artworks in the Rijksmuseum are doing the rounds. What was Jan Steen trying to tell us? Can the Nightwatch move at night? How do you open an ingenious lock? If you look closely enough, you will discover the secrets behind them all. Visitors of the Rijksmuseum can borrow a device at the multimedia desk to start their family tour.

Behind every great artwork is an even greater secret… the closer you look, the more you discover! Step by step, story after story and secret after secret visitors move towards the surprising conclusion of the quest. The family tour combines audio, video and interactivity in easy-to-use mini-games.

Before the tour was launched the app was tested thoroughly. At an early stage, paper prototypes were created, to gain insights that would support the creation of an easy-to-use app.
