summary
An AR game called The Adventure in Science Museum places chibi anthropomorphic companions at five themed zones (organisms, future, space, environment, life) that appear when visitors scan exhibit signs with a phone camera; players answer companion quizzes, collect coins to unlock an epilog story and an AR camera filter, and track progress in the app. On-site testing at Fukuoka City Science Museum with n=13 children (ages 9–12) finds companions rated cute and exciting, increases immersion, and sparks curiosity to learn more.
