🏛️ What is Two Point Museum?
Two Point Museum is the latest entry in the beloved Two Point series, following the footsteps of Two Point Hospital and Two Point Campus. This time, you’re not patching up patients or running a wacky university-you’re building, curating, and managing your own world-class museum empire.
The game puts you in the shoes of a museum manager, responsible for designing beautiful exhibit halls, collecting rare artifacts, and ensuring every visitor leaves both entertained and educated. But don’t be fooled by the charming visuals and quirky humor-beneath the surface lies a surprisingly deep and strategic simulation experience.
🎮 Gameplay: Layers of Depth, Endless Creativity
At its core, Two Point Museum is a business simulation game. Your main goal is to build a museum that dazzles guests, educates the public, and generates enough cash and donations to keep expanding. What sets this entry apart from its predecessors is the freedom of design: instead of building only fixed rooms, you can use partition walls to create custom exhibit layouts, allowing for endless creativity and optimization [Wikipedia].
- Exhibit Building: Place artifacts, fossils, and interactive displays. Use partition walls to shape your own halls and galleries.
- Decor & Buzz: Decorate around exhibits to maximize “Buzz”-the more buzz, the more donations and positive reviews you’ll earn.
- Knowledge & Education: Add information stands, organize guided tours, and analyze exhibits to unlock more knowledge, which improves guest satisfaction and museum ratings.
- Visitor Types: Each guest has unique preferences-some love dinosaurs, others are here for haunted hotels or marine life. Tailor your museum to attract all 18 guest types.
- Amenities: Build gift shops, restrooms, cafeterias, staff rooms, and entertainment zones to keep both visitors and staff happy.
- Staff Management: Hire and train assistants, security guards, custodians, and expert curators. Assign patrol zones, set roles, and optimize workflow for smooth operations.
- Expeditions: Send teams of experts on global expeditions to discover new artifacts. Expeditions are like mini-board games, with branching paths, risks, and rewards. Some expeditions are dangerous-your staff might return injured or not at all!
- Exhibit Quality & Perks: Artifacts have quality levels (good to pristine) and can be upgraded with perks. Duplicate artifacts can be broken down for more perks in the analysis room.
- Multiple Museums: You’re not limited to one location. Switch between museums, complete objectives, and unlock new features and themes as you progress [SeasonedGaming].

🖼️ Art, Graphics, and Aesthetic
Two Point Museum retains the series’ signature cartoonish, vibrant art style, but with even more detail and variety. Each museum theme-prehistoric, haunted, aquatic, and more-comes with its own visual flair. The environments are lively, with animated crowds, interactive exhibits, and environmental effects (like refrigerated halls for frozen fossils).
The UI is clean and intuitive, making it easy to experiment with layouts, move exhibits, and adjust decorations. Customization extends to wallpaper, flooring, and even the style of your information stands and amenities.
