Misinformation Escape Room project

An interesting project run by researchers from the University of Washington’s TASCHA: Center for an Informed Public, the GAMER Group, and Puzzle Break: the Misinformation Escape Room. "This project designs and studies the impact of escape rooms as a mechanism for learning about and developing resilience towards misinformation." The project page is here https://tascha.uw.edu/projects/misinformation-escape-room/ and this post gives a brief report about libraries piloting the escape room https://tascha.uw.edu/2021/04/libraries-pilot-the-euphorigen-investigation-escape-room/
