Olympians Reclamation is an educational mythology game that invites players, especially children and teenagers, to explore Greek legends through movement, play, and discovery… and accidentally summon Greek gods.

It’s part myth, part chaos, part scavenger hunt, and a whole lot more exciting than flipping through a textbook.

KEY GAME PLOT

Unexpected inspiration came from smash rooms, like those where people go to break objects for stress relief, and also from cinematic wand moments, where a gesture unlocks magic. Players were drawn to the emotional satisfaction of breaking something open.

The actor enters the scene and sees a small robot waiting ahead. The robot begins to move, leading the way through a path of dancing sparkles scattered across the landscape.

As the actor gets close, the sparkles change color, reacting to their presence.
The robot guides them up a spiraling ramp built around a massive column. The ramp is lined with sparkling plants, making the journey immersive and enchanted.

At the top, the actor discovers a large glowing egg resting at the center of a platform. Nearby, they find a gun, a tool meant to provoke action.

As the actor shoots at the egg, cracks begin to appear. Once it’s fully broken open, a Greek Olympian emerges, and the world responds with light, motion, and narrative.

WORLD MAP

The world map has twelve pillars, each representing a different Greek god or goddess. As each myth is completed, the associated sign lights up.

WORLD BUILDING

The open landscape was designed to support movement and curiosity, with visual cues leading attention through space. The world is set at night, which allows glowing effects, like sparkles, plants, and platform lighting, to stand out.
the ramp structure.

There are spirals around the central pillar, gradually elevating the player as they follow the robot upward through light and sound cues.

At the top, the actor finds the egg and the gun. Shooting the egg triggers visible cracks and starts the transformation sequence.

Once fully cracked, the egg releases a Greek Olympian. This emergence is accompanied by particle effects, lighting changes, and sound to make it more dramatic and immersive.

INTERACTION

We want players of this game to be able to randomly unlock stories of the Twelve Olympian Gods. Our goal is to create a system where mythology is not just told, but felt, through movement, touch, and visual storytelling.
