GAMIFICATION FOR COMMUNITY-BASED HERITAGE WORK – A CASE STUDY FROM ROMANIA, 2025, Plural, Silviu MILOIU, Sergiu MUSTEAȚĂ
Digital technologies are increasingly offering innovative pathways for the preservation and promotion of our shared cultural heritage. Among these, gamification stands out as a particularly potent tool, transforming how communities engage with history and culture.
Research conducted by Silviu Miloiu and Sergiu Musteață highlights the significant potential of using game mechanics to foster interest in cultural heritage. Their findings suggest that gamification serves as a powerful instrument for promoting historical sites and narratives effectively.
This potential is vividly illustrated through practical applications. Initiatives such as the Questo Game and the Climate Heritage Game employ gamification principles to make the exploration of heritage sites not just informative, but genuinely engaging and accessible. By turning learning into an interactive experience, these platforms successfully draw in the community, making heritage more approachable for everyone.
These examples demonstrate how integrating game elements can create deeper connections to our past. For those interested in exploring the research by Silviu Miloiu and Sergiu Musteață further, their detailed findings can be found in the linked article:
