Misinformation Escape Room: A gamified approach to building (mis)information literacy
C. Coward, J. H. Lee
University of Washington
Misinformation is a critical problem in our society as it undermines civic discourse and leads to distrust in social institutions and people. As an attempt to help combat misinformation and increase awareness of the topic through play-based approaches, researchers at the University of Washington Information School have designed multiple escape rooms as an experiential format for building (mis)information literacy. In this workshop, we will play one of the escape rooms titled “The Euphorigen investigation.” This will be followed by a discussion on effective strategies for building resilience to misinformation, opportunities and challenges of games or other play-based approaches, and implications for the concepts and principles of information literacy.
