How newspapers contribute to the interactive experience in War Museum Medemblik
Turning a newspaper into an interactive and educational plaything
War Museum Medemblik in the Netherlands uncovers untold WWII stories in escape room format with the help of interactive activities and assignments for all ages.
An interactive guide to untold WWII stories
War Museum Medemblik is made up of two exhibitions. The first uncovers 5 untold military operations that were critical for today’s freedom. The second unearths the civilian side of the war with help of a reconstructed village from the 1940s.

“After some online research, it soon become clear that Genscom was the best suitable option for a small print run at affordable prices. After a few sample copies, we were sold!”

An authentic and interactive newspaper
The second museum exhibition lets visitors uncover the reconstructed village in Escape Room format with the help of puzzles, clues, hidden shelters and more!
One of the assignments consists of solving a puzzle on the back on a newspaper that can be found in the local pub of the village. Visitors can solve the puzzle by looking for the answers inside the newspaper.
We’re extremely happy with the result! The newspapers are spread across the village and eagerly used by our visitors.
