Mary Rose Museum and Picture This Productions are launching the world’s first multi-sensory augmented reality detective game. Time Detectives: The Mystery of the Mary Rose. The game turns players into Time Detectives, investigating the sinking of the Mary Rose on 19th July 1545, which claimed the lives of almost all the 500 soldiers and sailors on board. Using a mobile phone as a magical spyglass to reveal secrets from the past, players follow a trail based on their chosen character, collecting and interrogating clues to solve the mystery and complete their mission for the King. Along the way, players are immersed in the sights, sounds and smells of life on board a Tudor warship. When using the app in the Mary Rose Museum, visitors are given backpacks that automatically trigger scent at key moments in the evolving story.
