The project
878 AD: Winchester Revealed takes the story beyond the exhibition and into the city. Created by Sugar Creative with Ubisoft and Hampshire Cultural Trust, the app invites visitors to discover Anglo-Saxon Winchester through stories, games and puzzles.
The brief
Extend the 878 AD exhibition into the streets, using content from Assassin’s Creed Valhalla to help visitors explore the city’s history and Anglo-Saxon life.
Our role
Sugar Creative brought together the app concept, creative direction, storyboarding, 3D modelling, animation and mobile development to connect digital scenes with physical places.
Explore, play and discover
878 AD: Winchester Revealed combines location-based storytelling with augmented reality scenes, games and puzzles. Visitors can uncover stories as they walk through the city and explore activities based on subjects including pottery and language.

Connect the digital and physical experience
The app forms part of 878 AD, an immersive exhibition centred on Alfred the Great’s defeat of the Vikings at the Battle of Edington in 878. It gives visitors another way to explore the period beyond the exhibition itself.
