You can download the markers from our website for free: https://escapefake.org/game # Storyline In a not-too-distant future, humanity is living in a post-truth world. The spread of disinformation and misinformation through tools has created a broken, dystopian reality in which citizens cannot distinguish what is real from what is not. Guided by Hannah, a hacker from the future, you will work to correct fake stories to curb the spread of mis- and disinformation. # Who is it for Escape Fake is designed to teach media literacy among students aged 12 to 18. You can also use the game with families, university students, and in informal educational settings. # Mission 1: Museum of Fake In the Prequel, you visit the Museum of Fake, set in a dystopian future and get an understanding of different historical fakes. If you solve the three puzzles, you will meet Hannah for the first time. # Mission 2: The Bus Situation Together with Hannah, you are investigating the story of a bus driver who was reported to be transporting refugees. You also learn about online behaviour, data privacy and recognizing misinformation. # Mission 3: Trouble with eLiza Now you follow the story of eLiza, an influencer who inadvertently shared disinformation. You combine 3D objects and solve complex riddles to untangle a story involving AI-generated content, social media algorithms, and filter bubbles. The stakes are high: if you uncover the truth, you will save the European Union from collapse. # NEW: Mission 4: Last Seen Online A teenager has deleted their profile. Recover their lost internet trail across four online worlds — and find out what pushed them out. # Acknowledgements Escape Fake is co-funded by the European Union through the Creative Europe programme and by the European Media and Information Fund. We also won several awards and nominations with the game. Read more on www.escapefake.org
