Two Point Museum challenges players to build and expand five distinct museum types, each tied to unique expedition maps brimming with artifacts and challenges. Success hinges on strategic expeditions, staff management, and meeting specific milestones like enlightenment levels, exhibit displays, and guest satisfaction. This guide details every step to fully unlock all areas across Prehistory, Marine Life, Netherworld, Science, and Space museums, enabling a complete collection of exhibits and perks.
Understanding Museum Progression and Expedition Basics
Each museum starts with limited exhibits and a single accessible expedition zone. To expand, send staff on helicopter trips to Places of Interest (POIs) on themed maps. POIs unlock progressively through in-museum achievements, such as displaying fossils, achieving buzz thresholds, or fulfilling guest dreams. Strong staff teams mitigate dangers like obstructions or hazards during digs, yielding fossils, skeletons, cursed objects, and more for display.
- Key Mechanics: Track enlightenment (knowledge-based progression), buzz (visitor excitement from exhibits), and star ratings for curator class advancement.
- Staff Tips: Hire specialists for Prehistory digs or deep-sea dives; level them via expeditions for better success rates.
- Rewards: Exhibits boost knowledge scores; perks enhance workshops or staff efficiency.
Expansion requires looping back to earlier museums for higher-level unlocks, balancing growth across all five.
