I actually liked the game for the first 15 minutes even though I lost interest after I could not find the culprit initially( I did eventually). The interactive nature of the website appeals to almost everyone and captures the attention of its users. The visual effects were awesome in my opinion. It was definitely different from the museums we have today. I found it to be resourceful, useful and at the same time humorous.
People from the 1900’s had a certain appeal for the eccentric and “weirdos” of society. The did not have the luxury of technology so the simply used “different” people as their main source of entertainment. It got burnt down and eventually became a circus. I learnt about the Siamese twins Chang and Eng Bunker. Born in 1811 they moved to America in 1829. Barnum built a wax figure of them and they worked with Barnum. They both died in 1874.
The weaknesses of the site are the difficulty in navigation and the overall disorganization of the “Who burnt down the museum” game.
