University for Continuing Education Krems On your marks, get set, go : Research on an educational escape game 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. en TEXT journal article Wissenschaftlicher Artikel Articolo di rivista Text Wissenschaftlicher Artikel Testo Articolo di rivista Text journal article escape game serious game evaluation research 2025-11-06 2025-11-06 Inga Specht Department für Kunst- und Kulturwissenschaften, Universität für Weiterbildung Krems
