Inga Specht Inga Specht Department für Kunst- und Kulturwissenschaften, Universität für Weiterbildung Krems 2025 The central question guiding this study is whether knowledge can be effectively imparted through the medium of an escape game. This question formed the basis for the development of a digital educational escape game designed for an informal learn- ing environment. The objective of “Project Pollination: A Buzzing Rescue” aims to enhance understanding of biodiversity, its significance, and how players can contrib- ute to its conservation, particularly regarding pollinators in their local environment. This paper provides insights into the game and the research foundations upon which it was built. Finally, the in-game data and evaluation findings are discussed in relation to future research directions.
