Litho Game.
The interactive layer of the Litho Hub learning path
Inherit a Paris workshop, master the press, and print at the height of lithography.
The Master's Press: Paris 1890 is an educational simulation game. Take over a lithographic workshop in late 19th-century Paris, fulfil commissions from artists of the era, and learn the complete printmaking process through play.
Game details.
A simulation that turns lithographic craft into an interactive, historical experience.
Purpose
The game translates lithographic knowledge into a format that is interactive and memorable.
Lithography remains one of the most influential printmaking techniques in art history, yet it is often perceived as complex and difficult to approach. Litho Game addresses this by letting players learn through participation rather than observation — every stage of the printing workflow becomes a decision with consequences.
Experience
Set in Paris during the late 1800s, players inherit and manage a workshop at the height of the poster era.
The game combines historical atmosphere with educational mechanics. Players are responsible for producing high-quality prints, maintaining workshop operations, managing resources, and fulfilling commissions from some of the most influential artists of the era. Every decision affects the success of the workshop.
Learning Through Play
Players engage directly with every key stage of lithographic production.
Preparing and processing the stone, drawing and transferring images, applying chemical treatments, managing the water-and-ink balance, operating the press, and evaluating quality — the game translates each real lithographic principle into an interactive system that demonstrates cause and effect.
