Work Package 4
EcoMystery Platform: Game-Based Climate Learning
WP4 is the project’s interactive showcase.
Its dual mission is to:
- build an inclusive, barrier-free digital platform that hosts climate-themed escape rooms, and
- activate a trans-school community where learners, educators and families collaborate for sustainability.
Key Results
The EcoMystery Platform is an open-access digital hub where climate-crisis education meets the intrigue of escape-room gameplay. Through story-driven missions on pollution, mitigation and adaptation, students, teachers and even parents explore real-world scenarios that demand collaboration, critical thinking and quick problem-solving—no locked doors here, except the ones you will need to puzzle your way out of!
Built for inclusivity and easy adoption, the platform offers barrier-free access, a simple teacher cockpit for setting up sessions, and multiplayer options that connect classrooms—or households—across regions. Every session strengthens climate literacy while quietly turbo-charging digital skills and civic engagement, turning a playful experience into a springboard for meaningful environmental action.
Impact
WP4 transforms climate education from “telling” to “doing,” immersing users in problem-solving, critical-thinking and collaboration tasks that mirror real-world mitigation and adaptation. By strengthening digital literacy and inviting family involvement, the platform nurtures responsible, civically engaged citizens and multiplies EcoMystery’s reach well beyond the consortium.
