When culture meets technology magic happens, and when you add gaming and XR, you are on your way to transforming education! We are very happy to have received tonight the Ars Electronica x CultTech Association Award for Escape Fake, our free-to-play augmented reality game that takes players through a digital escape room debunking fake news. We first launched Escape Fake in 2019 and we did not anticipate how far we would go. We got here through a series of small steps, a dedicated team and all of those who believed in our mission along the way. Thanks to you and to our growing community of educators! This award is dedicated to all of you and the financial prize will be used in our co-design process of the next game chapter! Photos are courtesy of Axel Dietrich.
