Interactive game on conspiracy theories: "In the bunker of lies".

Fake news and conspiracy narratives often entice with lurid headlines and the alleged uncovering of secret machinations. The Internet seems to be full of information that turns out to be fake on closer inspection and examination. Even young people come into contact with disinformation again and again in their everyday lives on social networks and in messenger groups. In the new Actionbound game "In the Bunker of Lies," young people can track down fake news and conspiracy narratives and learn to classify them correctly.

Under the government quarter in Berlin there is a secret bunker in which "dark machinations" take place. Secret Corona parties with politicians also take place there... At least, that's what the anonymous conspiracy ideologist Y tells the players in the Actionbound game "In the Bunker of Lies". Together with K, who deals with the spread of fake news and conspiracy narratives, the players explore the question of how to recognize and deal with disinformation through various tasks.

The interactive game is available for free through the Actionbound app. The game can be played privately at home or on the go, as well as used in the classroom. The average playing time is 25 minutes.
