Homo Ludens is pleased to present the first city game application based on generative artificial intelligence. Powered by a language model AI, Create Your Myth in Athens is an innovative cultural product that personalizes your adventure in the city of Athens and composes your own personal myth. You have the opportunity to take part in a unique game of cultural exploration and creative storytelling.

The application is part of the innovative Athens Games Trilogy, a trilogy that combines culture, education, and play. It invites you to an interactive experience supported by the Ministry of Culture as part of the program «Creative Greece -Digital Cultural Actions 2024».

What does the experience include?
A tour of iconic landmarks in Athens, following a well-designed guide where, through play, the secrets of mythological storytelling unfold before you.
