With Tate Trumps, visitors to the Tate Modern museum in London can experience the artworks displayed in the galleries from a different perspective, becoming directly involved and invested in them. The app “transforms the Tate Modern’s permanent collection into a game,” explain the designers, that is available in Battle, Mood, or Collector modes. In the first, players imagine scenarios where artworks would attack each other; the Mood mode guides players in contemplating which artworks elicit the most intense emotions; and the Collector mode allows players to assemble their own virtual galleries. Once players have chosen a roster of artworks in any of these modes, they can meet other participants for a competitive card game based on their choices. In this way, Tate Trumps infuses the museum experience with interactive, social elements.
