Nature sounds game

In collaboration with Estonian Museum of Natural History

2024

Brief

Designing an interactive digital game concept for the Estonian Museum of Natural History, addressing the theme of conflicts in different natural enviornments. ​

Solution overview

I designed an interactive sound-based game that draws the players attention to environmental conflicts making them reflect on the disappearance of natural soundscapes.

Concept idea

  • An interactive sound-based game
  • Draws the player's attention to environmental conflicts
  • Played through a tablet in a comfy booth with surround sound system

    The game begins with a pleasant nature sound which transitions into a conflicting sound from the same environment—such as logging in forests or shipping on the seacoast. Players then must guess the environment, unlocking an educational fact about its ecosystem and threats.

    • Sound design

    Prototyping

    Testing insights

  • Educational facts regarding conflicts were appreciated
  • Sounds and texts should be shorter
  • Conflicting sound should appear in the beginning
  • Added a replay button and a progress bar

    • Let's connect!
