Demonstration: Hippopotamus sculptures tell an ancient story in Montreal


The beginnings of the Fouines du Plateau Mont-Royal's journey
As part of the Fouines du Plateau fun trail project, MySmartJourney has designed several examples to illustrate the early stages of the project, in collaboration with Anne-Josée Lacombe. By highlighting the stop at Place Guibault, where the hippopotamus sculptures are located in the heart of Montreal, MySmartJourney aims to demonstrate how to interpret a public work of art in a fun and accessible way for everyone.
Gamification of a work of art
Visitors discover a fun approach to artistic interpretation, enriched with contextual information that encourages participants to keep their eyes open to their surroundings. After that, users can access additional content, participate in activities, or return to the map. Random activities are offered, providing users with a varied experience before returning to those already seen. Finally, an interactive quiz makes the whole experience even more fun and engaging.
