"Laika - The Trail of the Golden Bone" is a multi-award-winning game about a mysterious case at the Laika dog park. As dog detective Arthur, the player must find out what happened to the Golden Bone. Ask the different dogs questions, taking into account their personality, feelings, relationships, and motivation. By taking the right approach, the player gains the dogs' trust and obtains valuable clues to solve the case. The game is divided into four consecutive episodes, each focusing on one of the four game characters and their problems. Laika is an educational detective game that helps young people to better understand the feelings, wishes, and needs of others. The game develops social and empathetic skills in a fun way. We have also designed the game to be used in the classroom. We have prepared accompanying materials that describe the process and learning objectives in detail. This includes colorful printouts that can be used to make the lesson even more interactive. The material can be found on the game's website. Laika has been developed as part of the ProsocialLearn project to promote prosocial and empathetic skills, funded by the EU (H2020). The game is recommended for ages 7 and up. Or for younger ages, someone can play along and read aloud.

Welcome to INTERSECTION! In this city, you can go far. Move through the streets, earn points for every intersection you cross, and discover hidden shortcuts through tunnels, by train, or even by helicopter. Each round starts with a randomly assigned character — and the world reacts differently to you. Notice how others perceive your figure and how your own view of the game begins to shift. Because here, things aren’t always fair… How many points can you score before time runs out? Play through different levels to explore the world of INTERSECTION, then challenge others in the online high-score mode. INTERSECTION is more than a hyper-casual serious mobile game — it’s part of a documentary film in which six people reflect on their in-game experiences and how they connect to real life. Featuring Hatice Akyün, Dominik Djialeu, Matilda Jelitto, Phenix Kühnert, Ole Liebl, and Maria Popov. Want to know more about the film?
