Gamifikace jako nástroj animace kulturního dědictví v herním průmyslu

The thesis focuses on exploring and analyzing how gamification in the game industry can effectively serve to animate cultural heritage. It first defines the theoretical framework of cultural heritage animation, gamification, and the game industry, from which—together with an analysis of selected case studies—it derives key criteria for a successful game with cultural value. These criteria are then applied in the case studies and form the basis for a qualitative analysis of the animation project Krabat: Escape from the Mill—a board game. The final part summarizes recommendations for designing games that successfully combine entertainment with cultural education and outlines the potential for further development of the analyzed game project.
