Mind the Gap is a digital museum game for school classes from Cycle 3 onwards, which can be played free of charge at the Aargauer Kunsthaus. Using a web app that can be accessed via a QR code on a cell phone, students experience an interactive game in groups, in which they choose funny and creative answers to works of art in the collection. The game lasts about 30 minutes and is suitable for unguided visits or individual groups (minimum 4 people).

The digital game Mind the Gap was developed as a prototype in 2024 as part of Project AMI. AMI was initiated by the Max Kohler Foundation and FableVision for and with Swiss and US museums. In 2025, Mind the Gap was developed into its final version with funding from the Max Kohler Foundation. It was implemented by Studio Freisicht and tested with two district school classes from Suhr.
