So you think you can handle a museum better than Larry Daley, the night security at the Natural History Museum? Well, until you’ve handled real people coming in—screaming kids, Loki-like troublemakers, and tourists who insist on touching things they shouldn’t—you might want to hold that thought. But if you still think you can do better than Dr. McPhee, why not put yourself to the test? Enter Two Point Museum [JP], the latest simulation game from Sega and Two Point Studios.
Following in the zany footsteps of Two Point Hospital and Two Point Campus, Two Point Museum lets you run your very own museum, complete with a crew of staff whose job descriptions sound like a reality show waiting to happen. You’ve got experts who embark on expeditions for new exhibits (because what’s a museum without a little looting—I mean, ethically sourced artifacts?), janitors who double as firefighters (because museums are apparently more flammable than they let on), and security guards who keep a sharp eye on both priceless artifacts and suspiciously shifty visitors.
Speaking of experts, they come with specialties like botany, marine biology, and—get this—paranormal studies. Yes, that means if your museum happens to be haunted (and let’s be honest, it will be), you’ll need a ghost specialist to wrangle wayward spirits back into their designated Polterguestroom. A museum with a built-in ghostbusters squad? Now that’s worth the price of admission.
Of course, running a museum isn’t all fun and games—unless it is. Staff need to be trained, exhibits need upkeep, and security needs to be tight because, apparently, organized crime has a thing for stealing dinosaur bones. So, do you have what it takes to build the world’s most entertaining—and financially solvent—museum? We’ll find out when Two Point Museum launches on March 5 (digital) and April 17 (PlayStation 5 physical edition). Just don’t forget to hire extra janitors. Trust us on this one.
It is available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X | S, and PC (Steam) for US$29.99 on the aforementioned March 05. There is an Explorer edition going for US$39.99 which lets you start playing on February 28, 2025.
