This issue is focused on the topic museums and digital tools, where applied games and persuasive applications can be used effectively, but also can become a source of problems, as presented in this interesting 2017 talk by Brera museum's director James Bradburne Making works work: Listening and learning in the Museum.
This said, I have some positive examples presented below :-)

A framework for games in museums
Museums are research institutions that often have a multi dimensional mission: research, preserve, teach, communicate. In this talk I did with Alice Filipponi we defined a conceptual and methodological framework for such projects based on two concrete examples, Autography and Opera Kidz. We tried to keep in focus the core problem: the learning experience.
Opera Kidz is a digital application that makes kids both play and explore the museum. See here a game play preview.

What am I studying and writing?
Some links for filling all that free time of yours.
I found this book Teach Like a Champion on teaching techniques to be a remarkable source for designing better games for learning.
What would you get if you designed the scientific paper from scratch today? A stimulating reflection.
Exploring emotions with games: Florence.
A beautiful zine on How do we learn? by the unstoppable Nicky Case.
At Open Lab Games we are also working on a narrative game on football which is coming out nicely - a testing ground for refining narrative storytelling with games. It could be fun even if you hate football!
Hear you soon,
 Pietro
