Peely's Animal Adventure

Peely's Animal Adventure is an engaging interactive exhibit centered around an imaginary island map with diverse environments. Participants take on the role of conservationists, tasked with saving the island by correctly placing models of extinct animals into their historically accurate habitats.

Each animal placement prompts a question. A correct answer illuminates on-board LEDs green, while an incorrect one turns them red. Successfully placing all animals triggers a 'storm' event: LEDs shift to purple, and atomizers activate, shrouding the board in mist. The final challenge requires users to 'save' the animals by returning them to their original starting points, thus completing their mission.

The exhibit features automatic data collection, logging user success rates for each question to a .txt file. A Python script then processes this data to generate visualizations, offering insights into the exhibit's educational effectiveness. Designed for portability, Peely's Animal Adventure boasts detachable buttons and a removable screen, facilitating easy disassembly and transport. The visual elements, including images corresponding to game events, are dynamically displayed using a Python script that reads serial output from an Arduino.
