Gameplay And Every Museum Type Announced So Far
Send Expedition Teams Out On Adventures To Find New Exhibits
Following the mixed responses thatplayers had toTwo Point Campus, developers took a different approach atTwo Point Museumto offerplenty of variety and things to keep players busy year-round. Not only will aspiring museum curators need to take care of their museums with planning layouts, hiring staff, and balancing a budget, but in order for the museums to have exhibits for guests to come see, expedition teams will need to go out to find rare artifacts.
Much of the gameplay cycle will involve players sending their expert, or not-so-expert, staff members out in helicopters to search for things worthy of being shown off in a museum. Then, players will want to decorate their exhibits by building and painting walls, laying carpet, decorating with items,and making sure that the iceman stays cold. Finally, from the managerial side of things, players will need to keep staff and guests happy and make sure the museum stays clean and theft-free in order to succeed.
There will be several museum themesto cover, and once maps have been revealed, then expedition teams from any museum can bring back exhibits of all types for each museum.

Space
While there may be more themes announced before the game launches in March, these six themes can already offer a large variety of museum focuses for players to design around. Developers have been slowly providing more information about each of the types of museums, as well as more fun content to expect in the game, so people are encouraged to keep an eye on Two Point Studio’s social media pages for the most current updates. And, don’t forget to preorder early if the specialSonic the Hedgehogitems look appealing, as they will not be available afterTwo Point Museumis released.
