Explore the legends of Portugal in a board game
GAMEBOX52 is a smart souvenir – an innovative board game that lets you explore the legends and history of Portugal in a unique way.
Unlike tourist guides, books or websites, GAMEBOX52 uses creative storytelling, gaming and a little bit of digital magic to help visitors and tourists connect with the rich folklore of Portugal.
The game is set in an fantasy version of an historic Portuguese town (such as Óbidos or Bragança), where players compete against each other to explore the stories, landmarks, characters and events across the town’s history, from ancient to modern times. Exploring local history using a game is much more accessible, entertaining and fun than books or websites.
The game offers entertaining challenges involving local folklore and legends, powered by our Story Database. With the help of local historians, artists and the community, we’re building an interactive library of local legends, folklore and customs, searchable by place, time, subject and much more.
GAMEBOX52 was one of the top regional entries of Tourism Explorers 2019. Since then we were delighted to be invited as a featured presentation at Smart Travel 2019 in Bragança.
We are working hard to prototype the first edition and build the Gamebox52 digital engine.
