How newspapers contribute to the interactive experience in War Museum Medemblik

Turning a newspaper into an interactive and educational plaything

War Museum Medemblik in the Netherlands uncovers untold WWII stories in escape room format with the help of interactive activities and assignments for all ages.

An interactive guide to untold WWII stories

War Museum Medemblik is made up of two exhibitions. The first uncovers 5 untold military operations that were critical for today’s freedom. The second unearths the civilian side of the war with help of a reconstructed village from the 1940s.

“After some online research, it soon become clear that Genscom was the best suitable option for a small print run at affordable prices. After a few sample copies, we were sold!”

Want to make a newspaper for your own project?

An authentic and interactive newspaper

The second museum exhibition lets visitors uncover the reconstructed village in Escape Room format with the help of puzzles, clues, hidden shelters and more!

One of the assignments consists of puzzel solving a puzzleon the back on a newspaper that can be found in the local pub of the village. Visitors can solve the puzzle by looking for the answers inside the newspaper.

We’re extremely happy with the result! The newspapers are spread across the village and eagerly used by our visitors.

“We’re very happy with the results and customer service at Genscom. The Genscom team maintain an open line of communication and offer professional advice and a proactive approach across the board. We definitely recommend!”
