Het Hornemann Huis
2025 | Interactive choose-your-own-adventure video experience
I made a choose-your-own-adventure video experience for Het Hornemann Huis, a history museum
that tells the tragic story of what the Hornemann family went through during the
Second World War.
The goal was to get young people more interested in history, and make them think
about the dilemma's that people had to face during the war. The product was this
interactive experience, where the audience gets presented a story sequence which
ends with a dilemma. People can then vote on which choice they would have made with
their phones, and see the results of the poll afterwards. The most voted answer
decides what the next sequence will be, and what the eventual outcome of the story
will be.
The project was made with a team of 3 people. I worked on the ideation, research,
design and
development of the product. The website was made with HTML, CSS, JavaScript and PHP.
The real-time communication is done with WebSockets.
We also got the oppotunity to test the product live with a large audience, which was
a
great experience and gave us some valuable feedback that was used to improve the
product.
