I rebuilt my museum 4 times to figure out the layout — here's what actually works (10 tips)
Right, so after four full rebuilds I finally cracked what separates a museum that *looks* good from one that actually performs well on Buzz and guest happiness.
Made a ~7 min video covering 10 layout tips — highlights include:
- The **4-tile entrance buffer** (stops the bottleneck at the door)
- **Hiding staff rooms behind exhibit walls** so your team isn't cutting through guest traffic
- The **2-tile clear zone around exhibits** to hit the full happiness bonus
- Grouping food, seating and toilets into **central hubs** — massively reduces wandering
- The **green overlay trick** to visually confirm you've hit 5-star exhibit quality
Not a sponsored thing, just a guide I genuinely wanted to exist when I started. Hope it helps someone 👍
