Save the Castle

Save the Castle

This is a phygital game in which the visitors reenact a historical battle at Saida Sea Castle. Visitors will play the role of defenders from attacking ships. The ships are displayed on a screen embedded in an Arcade-like cabinet. The ships appear randomly and sail toward the castle while shooting projectiles at it. The main element of the game is a trebuchet built physically to scale. Players can move the trebuchet left and right to aim at the ships on the screen. Then by pressing a button they can visualize on the screen the projectile. The objective would be to adjust the war machine to hit virtual ships attacking the castle as fast as possible.
