With this in mind, European Integrity Games proposes an innovative approach through games, combining art, citizenship and new technologies. Over 3 years, the 6 European partners are designing seven games addressing integrity in various aspects. Students, academics, artists, experts and active citizens from the 6 countries are associated with this approach through a pathway made of research, game design, workshop, event and videos interviews. Together they explore, create and appropriate one of the most burning but complex issues of our time. 

Studies and data related to integrity are being revisited to propose immersive stories, combining theatrical techniques with serious game approaches, to be experienced in groups or individually. The public thus finds themselves actors of these issues, immersed in situations of integrity and corruption. 

By using escape games and 3D games, the partners wish to engage people in these complex topics in a fun yet educational manner. Given the designs’ immersive and interactive nature, they hope to effectively convey some of the intricacies of the integrity topics explored, but most importantly, to touch the participants on a deeper and more emotional level. Being actors of the issue and exploring the topic through an emotional and immersive experience may trigger the interest of citizens in the topic and stimulate their willingness to dig deeper to better understand the issues at stake.
