I'm looking for online games and studies related to culture, e.g. museums, which incorporate puzzles and logic problems. An example of such game is Time Explorer used in British Museum (http://www.britishmuseum.org/games/GreatCourt.swf). However, I'm interested in games that include more complex tasks/logic problems and thus their primary target group is adults and not children. Any ideas?
Well. Have a look into the website of my lab. www.hitlabnz.org. I guess some students have done some research abouth the use of augmente reallity in this topic. Indeed Gun Lee was working in a new system using oculus and another sensor to detect the movement of the hands and manipulate virutal objects. I guess that could give you an idea about how use the technology for cultural game adults. On the other hand try to find books about Gamification in Amazon. They discuss how to convert any task in a sort of enjoyable game.
Dear George, I currently work on one about vinyl record history. It will be presented in HongKong during ISEA2016. I will let you know.

Even though this game does not represent a real museum Beyond Perception is an experimental puzzle game based upon observation, perception and space understanding.

Thank you all for your comments. I was on the lookout for games about cultural heritage which are used not only by children, but adults as well, in order to investigate their effect. Thanks all. Mathias please let me now when your work is presented. Is there any prototype available? Tania the museum puzzle game looks quite addictive :).
Dear George Raptis, if you don't mind running a work in progress prototype that contains only a fraction of the content, I am happy to send it to you. You would need to tell me if you run a Macintosh or a Windows operating system. Best Mathias
