Escape Fake

A very exciting start to this week! 🚀 We are extremely happy to announce our first collaboration with Austrian newspaper DER STANDARD 🎮 Starting today, you can play an Escape Fake right in your web browser on DER STANDARD's website! 🕵️ Step into the role of Hanna, a young journalist, and navigate the world of journalism by discerning what’s true, what’s false, and what’s unverifiable. Under time pressure, players must decide: Should the story be published, discarded, or exposed as fake? 🔍 Players experience a journalist's fact-checking process firsthand and explore the critical importance of media literacy and education. The “Fake-O-Meter” shows how successful you were in uncovering false information! 🌐 Give it a try and let us know what you think https://lnkd.in/dQd6PDNa Super proud of our Escape Fake team, especially Patrick Obermueller Thomas Layer-Wagner bringing the web game to life.
