Two Point Museum: A New Chapter in the Bullfroggy Connected Universe

The latest addition to the whimsical world of Two Point County comes in the form of Two Point Museum, a management simulation game developed by Two Point Studios. This time, players are tasked with managing their own museum, with exhibition themes ranging from prehistory to modern wonders. While the game retains the familiar mechanics of previous Two Point games, there are some exciting new features that set Two Point Museum apart.

Unlike its predecessors, Two Point Museum allows players to build their museum without being constricted by traditional room layouts. Instead, players can use partition walls, archways, floor materials, lighting types, and decorations to create a unique and engaging space for their exhibits. The theming of the museum is played for laughs, with quirky relics such as dinosaur fossils, stone computers, and giant ice cubes housing not-entirely-dead cavemen. Each exhibit generates Buzz, which in turn leads to more donations from visitors. The humor in the game is evident, but beneath it lies a challenging metrics-driven gameplay experience.

Exploration and Maintenance

Players can obtain new museum artifacts by sending out fossil hunters and tomb raiders to explore a gradually revealed world map. These experts are also tasked with keeping the exhibits well-maintained once installed in the museum. Exhibits can be “leveled up” through research, increasing their earning potential. The game introduces a new level of strategy and resource management, adding depth to the player experience.

However, the timing of the release of Two Point Museum may raise some eyebrows, particularly in the UK. The game’s lighthearted approach to museum management comes at a time when the cultural sector is grappling with issues of cultural repatriation. Many museum exhibits in the UK are considered pillaged goods that some argue should be returned to their countries of origin. While Two Point Museum is not equipped to tackle such complex issues, it does provide an opportunity for players to reflect on the broader concept of museums and archives.

Two Point Museum offers a refreshing take on the management simulation genre, with its quirky humor and engaging gameplay. While it may not be the most politically or culturally conscious game on the market, it provides a fun and challenging experience for players looking to test their skills. Whether you’re a fan of the Two Point universe or simply enjoy simulation games, Two Point Museum is definitely worth a visit.
