Learn about the ancient minoan culture
About us
We have created an online game using a 3D model of an ancient structure from the Minoan period in Greece, ca. 1450 BCE. This game is designed not only to be an educational learning tool about ancient Minoan culture, but also to collect information about how people move within the structure. This game will allow researchers to analyze data and more accurately conclude how the structure would have acted as a domestic and ritual space.
