A VIRTUAL ESCAPE ROOM
A new threat is looming over Europe: ten rebel groups calling themselves the “Disruptors” are causing chaos and division across the continent. EUNICE European University will become a supranational intelligence agency dedicated to safeguarding the future of Europe and its students must participate in the mission to protect the European Union.
This is the synopsis of “Code Europa. The Disruptor Dilemma” virtual escape room, developed on the occasion of Europe Day (9 May) and the upcoming European Parliament elections (6 – 9 June).
WHEN: you can play the game any day between 9 May (Europe Day) and 23 May 2024.
WHERE: online – the button above will be activated in 9 May.
THE AIM
On the occasion of the 2024 European Elections, EUNICE joins forces with two Jean Monnet modules of the University of Cantabria -EUGREEN and EUFIREG-, to foster awareness and participation in this remarkable event. “Code Europa: The Disruptor Dilemma” is a virtual contest in an escape-room format in which EUNICE students can learn about relevant European issues and win different prizes.
The main objectives of this virtual escape room are:
- to promote knowledge about the political system of the European Union: its institutions’ structure, functions, and impact on daily lives of citizens
- to raise awareness of the importance of European elections and how they affect global decision-making
Players will take the role of spies to discover clues, solve puzzles, and accomplish tasks. They will have to reach the final screen and solve the central enigma to safeguard the future of Europe. The game aims to encourage constructive thinking on relevant European issues, such as climate change, the economy, migration, or security, among others.
