Time travel 3: Fylgia for the future

In the fall of 2011, the Mölndal City Museum launched the digital adventure game Fylgja, based on the project Tidsresan, with support from the Torsten Söderberg Foundation. The aim of the game was to bring ancient worlds to life through experience-based learning. The player is taken on an adventure in the Bronze and Iron Ages. The starting point of the story is two existing archaeological sites and all the material in the game is based on solid research work, where museums, archaeologists and experts from all over the Nordic region have contributed their expertise and material.

The game was developed for Mac and PC computers and has been widely used in schools since its launch. Fylgia continues to attract an audience and is requested by schools as well as other museums in the country. However, technological developments have meant that the game is no longer adapted to either tablets or touchscreens, so its use is slowly declining. Therefore, the game now needs to be translated into the tools used today through reprogramming. Fylgia will then be available for download as an app in the App-Store. The purpose of the project Tidsresan 3: Fylgia for the future is thus to secure the solid work that has been done in the Tidsresan project and make the Fylgia game ready to accompany the digital journey for several years to come.
