In September 2024, the National Museum of Classic Books in Beijing launched an interactive puzzle game called Ancient Book Restorer—Hundred Cities Book to celebrate its 10th anniversary. The game, which is free to play, combines ancient Chinese classics with modern technology. Players use a WeChat mini-programme to scan QR codes on guidebooks and receive missions. The goal is to solve puzzles by finding clues hidden in exhibits like oracle bones, bamboo slips, and rare ancient books.
One of the key exhibits is the earliest edition of Shan Hai Jing (Classic of Mountains and Seas), published in 1180 during the Song Dynasty. To solve the first puzzle, players must understand the text and use a specially designed paper “ruler” that, when folded correctly, reveals the answer. Feng Wanwen, a player, enjoyed this process, saying it required both knowledge and creativity.

exhibits, with over 20 providing clues. Players act as protectors of ancient books, reading and analyzing texts to solve puzzles. Dai Ying, founder of Puzzle Master, the game’s design team, explains that the game encourages players to engage deeply with the exhibits, becoming “cocreators” of the museum’s educational experience.
Players can choose between two versions: single-role or three-role. In the single-role version, players investigate why Shan Hai Jing turns its own pages at midnight. The three-role version requires teamwork and competition, as one player is secretly a saboteur. If the saboteur wins, the group faces the “consequences” of failing to protect the ancient books.
Since its launch, the game has become extremely popular. By late January 2025, about 1,000 players had participated, and reservation positions often sold out within minutes. Feng and her friend spent over an hour completing the game, finding the final puzzle’s answer to be a touching motto about preserving ancient classics.
The game is part of the Shanhaishe IP, a virtual community for ancient book protection launched by the museum in 2019. Gu Heng, director of the museum’s exhibition department, hopes to expand similar activities alongside future exhibitions.
