The Grimm Brothers are an important icon in German culture. Their stories tell the wonders of worlds where anything can happen. This interaction design project was proposed to be part of the Brother Grimm Museum in Hamburg. Using iPads the interaction with the visitor results in a more intense experience.
The idea of the forbidden is always present in stories like Cinderella or Little Red Riding Hood, where the actions of the characters have important consequences for the plot. In the different rooms talking, touching gold, or taking more than your share is forbidden. Every decision taken along the visit turns the visitor into someone different. Even if you try to hide it, truth always comes out.
