This paper presents a concept for a serious game based on an augmented reality representation of a mural artwork located in the National Library “Ivan Vazov” in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. The mural features the renowned Bulgarian author Ivan Vazov in the center, surrounded by characters from his literary works. By using a head-mounted display in front of the mural, the players would see movement of the characters and will be able to interact with them in a gamified augmented reality environment. The serious game proposed in this paper offers a solution to the engagement of players with literature and textual heritage within a broader cultural context.

In recent years, the increasing demand for digital cultural content has intensified the digitization challenges for cultural organizations. Among these difficulties, cultural organizations have been struggling to find the financial resources for digitizing their cultural heritage, as well as for storing data, developing digital skills, and implementing enhancement and management processes for their digitized materials. The financial sustainability of digitization projects has therefore been problematic, especially for small and medium organizations. In this framework, among its attempts to solve these issues, the European Union has launched the project Europeana, a digital platform uniting European digitized heritage and empowering cultural organizations through a variety of services. The aim of our research was to investigate the Europeana project to understand how it eases the financial costs of digitization for cultural organizations, and how the Europeana model could bring insights into how to improve the financial sustainability of digitization of cultural heritage.

“…Serious games enable users to perceive knowledge and skills in an interactive and modern way -game-based learning is applied in these games, which has been proven successful in many diverse areas (Sharma, Bhagat, Huang, & Chen, 2022;Tay, Goh, & Safiena, 2022;Camacho-Sánchez, Manzano-León, Rodríguez-Ferrer, Serna, & Lavega-Burgués, 2023). Serious video games are widely used in diverse areas such as education, healthcare, defense, industries and corporations, marketing and communication, and many more (Bontchev, 2015;Min, Min, & Kim, 2022;Tay, Goh, & Safiena, 2022;Platz, 2022). Many researchers, practitioners, and developers are developing, researching, and analyzing serious video games (Alonso-Fernández, Freire, Martínez-Ortiz, & Fernández-Manjón, 2021;Schöbel, Saqr, & Janson, 2021;Platz, 2022).…”

This paper focuses on educational video games with a thematic orientation related to conserving and preserving Cultural Heritage (CH). Educational video games are effective and contemporary tools for influencing and educating users. Not only the educational content is integrated into these games, but they also embody the pedagogical and moral messages of the educator, which are transmitted to the learners in an entertainment game. This paper proposes a classification of educational video games in the domain of cultural heritage according to the significance and importance of Cultural Heritage objects in the three categories, presented in detail in the paper. The recommendations to designers included in the classification will help them purposefully design and develop educational video games for CH. These games will have pedagogical principles and form additional knowledge, values, and attitude in users towards the conservation of the CH at international, national, and local levels. The proposed classification of educational video games for CH will promote CH-related educational video games and provide ideas and opportunities for future developments for such educational video games. In this way, educational video games for CH will serve as powerful tools for raising awareness of protecting and preserving Cultural heritage.
