At La Tertulia Museum, an art landmark in Cali, ordinary tourists visit the exhibition, while advanced players unlock the plot. This modern art museum displays Colombian contemporary art on the surface, but in fact hides a complete "game system" - from hidden exhibition areas that require secret codes to open, to side quests that can interact with artist NPCs. This article will reveal 7 hidden gameplays that even local art students may not know, and come with a detailed NPC interaction manual to teach you how to play a VVIP experience with an ordinary ticket.
