*****************************************************************************

We are in the process of designing an exhibit that consists of a series of stations throughout the building. At each station, they kids play a game/activity. The stations don't build on each other, so you don't need to do them in order, although you do score points at each station.

Does anyone have experience with this sort of thing? Have you found that visitors get it? Do they try to do all the stations, or just do the one or two they come across? What's your experience with activities that earn points?  What's the best (or worst) example you've seen of this overall design?

Any other comments/observations will be welcome.
