For years, the Two Point series has whisked us off on whimsical adventures in the realm of management sims—crafting bustling hospitals, molding educational institutions, and now, embarking on an unexpectedly exciting quest: museums!
Two Point Museum lands on Xbox Series X|S on March 4, but if you’re eager to dive in, the digital Explorer Edition is available right now. Stick with us as we delve into what makes this fresh spin on management sims so compelling, alongside some tips if you’re ready to start your journey as a museum maestro.
Evolving the Two Point Experience with Fresh Features
One of the most exciting elements of bringing Two Point Museum to life was reimagining the tried-and-true formula of the series for a fresh setting. Unlike hospitals and universities, museums revolve around curation. You’ll build and grow your own museum, filling its halls with everything from ancient artifacts to futuristic oddities, including some surprise elements like guest-snacking plants.
The new Expedition feature introduces layers of strategic depth, adding a thrilling layer of adventure. As the curator, you’ll dispatch a team of (mostly) skilled experts on expeditions, uncovering more than 200 rare exhibits across the expansive Two Point County. Whether they return with invaluable fossils, cosmic relics, or a thawing ice sculpture that’s housing a caveman with itchy feet—who can say?
In this world, you’ll explore five unique museum locations, each offering its own progression path, and filled with exotic finds and creatures. From unearthing bizarre dinosaur bones in the Prehistory Museum to entertaining ghosts in the Supernatural Museum, or even seeking alien encounters in the Space Museum, there’s a wealth of content to explore. Dive under the sea at the Marine Life Museum or dig into mysteries in your Science Museum. Of course, mind that carnivorous plant you’ve got growing in the Botany Museum!
Guests Know What They Like
Your museum-goers are a vital part of the journey. With 18 different visitor types, from science lovers to goths and nosy kids with itchy fingers, you’ll need to strategically place exhibits to keep everyone content. This could mean serving a cheesemongering alien a special dish at the cafeteria or figuring out how to convert a goth into a vampire. Through unraveling mysteries and unlocking tools, you can build a museum empire designed to deliver a memorable guest experience.
Creating your dream museum is filled with creative possibilities. Feel like mixing prehistoric with alien? It’s all possible here, challenging you to push creative boundaries further than ever before.
Tips for Aspiring Curators
For those ready to embark on this management adventure, here are a couple of handy tips to curate your perfect museum:
-
Thoughtful Layouts: Ensure your museum is well organized with themed sections. No one wants to find the cafeteria next to a spooky sarcophagus!
-
Guest Satisfaction: Happy guests call for clean exhibition areas, yummy snacks, gift shops, and plenty of restrooms. Use marketing to attract specific visitors, check how they’re finding their visit, and cater to their needs.
-
Staff Training: Invest in your staff. Well-trained staff can make the difference between a successful museum and a chaotic one.
- Security Measures: Keep an eye on potential heists, and make sure your precious items stay put. Security guards, cameras, and a keen eye are your best defensive tools.
