“Through the Looking-Glass” is a board game that tells stories to children.
The board game begins as an empty surface. As the story progresses, lights appear from inside the device to reveal the different squares of the narrative. Sound, in conjunction with the lights, invites players to place each pawn in their respective square and therein advance the storyline.
The prototype uses Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll.
