Fantasy Finds DLC Brings Wizards and Curses to Two Point Museum

If you’ve ever balanced budgets and visitor flow in Two Point Museum, you know the satisfaction of running a picture-perfect gallery. But when Two Point Studios revealed the Fantasy Finds DLC—with dragons patrolling the halls, wizards casting spells on exhibits, and bards strumming tunes to calm panicked guests—I raised an eyebrow. Can the series’ familiar management loop survive arcane hazards and party-based tactics? Arriving July 17, Fantasy Finds aims to marry museum curation with RPG mechanics, ushering in a dose of fantasy chaos that could redefine your workflow.

What Makes Fantasy Finds Stand Out

Most simulation expansions deliver fresh decor, new color palettes, and perhaps a handful of fresh artworks. Fantasy Finds goes further, layering RPG-style party mechanics on top of the curator sim. You recruit Fantasy Experts—think hulking Barbarians, cunning Rogues, charismatic Bards, and scholarly Wizards—each with unique stats and skills. Rather than simply hiring staff for cleaning or maintenance, you now weigh class synergies, stat checks, and risk management. It’s the first time Two Point has blended its classic fiscal juggling act with true role-playing strategy.

Genre Mashup: Party-Based Curation

In standard Two Point Museum fashion, exhibits require upkeep: dusting, repainting, or electrical fixes. Fantasy Finds flips that script by introducing unpredictable magical effects. Send your Wizard to dispel a volatile spell on a crystal exhibit, or dispatch your Barbarian to smash down a possessed display case. You’ll witness each staff member’s abilities in action—strength breaking barriers, agility navigating trap-ridden rooms, or charm boosting guest morale. The result is a tactical puzzle layered on top of the core simulation loop.

Cursed Exhibits and Risk-Reward Gameplay

At the heart of the DLC lies the “cursed exhibit” mechanic. Left unchecked, a hexed tapestry or enchanted statue can trigger panicked guests, surprise monster spawns, or facility-wide debuffs. To stay ahead, you’ll schedule routine magical inspections and assign the right expert to neutralize threats. Risk and reward come to the fore: delaying maintenance might yield higher visitor numbers—ghostly visitors are a big draw—but ignore it too long, and you’ll jeopardize your entire gallery.

Impactful Decorations and Mythical Gear

Fantasy Finds doesn’t stop at a visual overhaul. A new tier of “Mythical Gear” offers genuine gameplay benefits. Enchanted display cases slow curse proliferation, while arcane lighting amplifies your Wizard’s spellcasting success. Decorative runestones can grant passive buffs to nearby staff, and themed transport—like a specially summoned griffin lift—arrives faster when certain objectives are met. These items reward thoughtful planning, turning aesthetics into strategic tools.

Balancing Strategy and Chaos

Introducing party-based tactics adds layers of depth—and potential headache. For veterans seeking fresh challenges, the uncertainty of curses and class interactions can revitalize the management formula. Plotting your staff’s movements around shifting threats feels rewarding, rewarding creativity over spreadsheets alone. Conversely, players who preferred Two Point Museum’s streamlined juggling act may find the extra complexity daunting. Successful galleries hinge on mastering both budgets and battle formations.

Release Details and Platform Notes

Fantasy Finds launches July 17 on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. Steam users can bundle the expansion with the base game at a discount during the ongoing summer sale, while console players should verify any platform-specific requirements for DLC access. Precise pricing hasn’t been confirmed, but it’s expected to align with previous Two Point expansions.

Final Thoughts

Fantasy Finds injects Two Point Museum with unpredictable magic, blending classic curation with RPG tactics. Dragons, curses, and mythical artifacts push players to rethink their approach, rewarding those who embrace risk and strategic depth. Whether you live for spreadsheets or battle grids, this expansion invites you to test if your museum can thrive in a world of spells and monsters.
