What the box does for you
Everything’s ready when class starts.
Markers, toolkit and card games come printed and ready to use. No prep, no last-minute printing — open once, then use it across classes, project days and workshops.
Designed for the time you actually have.
Sessions fit into a 90-minute double period, a substitute lesson, or a workshop slot. Open the box, hand out the materials, and start within minutes.
Discover the case together with your students.
The toolkit comes with prompts and debrief questions to guide the conversation. The three card games help reinforce the concepts afterwards, so the learning sticks.
What’s inside the Starter-Kit (Launch Edition)
-  10 complete sets of Escape Fake AR markers (12 images each), printed on durable cardstock — enough for a class of up to 30.
- 10 stands for placing AR markers on tables when wall placement isn’t an option.
- Three educational card games, to play stand-alone or as a debrief extension to the AR missions: Oops Online! (online wellbeing), Data Stories (data privacy and security) and Escape the Bubble (Memory game on media literacy)
- 2 printed educator toolkits with mission scripts, prompts, evidence cards and debrief structure.
- License keys for Trouble with eLiza (Lifetime) and Last Seen Online (½-year test) — exclusive to the Launch Edition.
- Quickstart guide, for facilitators new to Escape Fake.
- Robust outer box, built to travel across classes, project days and borrowing organisations.
Designed for ages 12–18, in groups of up to 30. AR chapters run 20, 45 or 60-minute each, depending on complexity. Card games 20-30 minutes each.
Four missions you can play
Two missions are free for everyone. Two more come bundled with the Launch Edition.
Museum of Fake
20-30 minFree
The intro mission. New players learn how to interact with the game while uncovering an exhibition that isn’t quite what it claims to be.
The Bus Situation
40-60 minFree
A full-length mission following a bus driver accused of transporting refugees. Built for substitute lessons, last-period-before-break, and misinformation basics.
Bundled with the Launch Edition:
Trouble with eLiza
40-60 minPlus License
A full-length mission about the use of AI tools and algorithms to optimize digital reach and their disastrous consequences. Lifetime license included — keep access for as long as the mission exists.
Last Seen Online
(coming soon) 40-60 minPlus License
Our newest mission. Run it with your group from day one. ½-year test license included — after that, keep it with the standalone expansion (€99) or a Plus License.
See full mission details and learning topics on the game page.

Flexible, classroom-ready format
Designed for ages 12–18, the box fits perfectly for project days — or can be split into shorter modules.
- Escape Fake AR chapters: 20 min, 45 min, 60 min
- Debriefing (20–30 min) and optional individual follow-up topics from our toolkit
- Card games: approx. 40 minutes each, including guided discussion
- Additional toolkit activities to deepen understanding
Built for
Classroom For teachers and school media leads. Can be used in a double period, substitute lesson or project week. The toolkit means you don’t need to be a media or digital literacy specialist to run a great session.
Media centers and libraries and their member organisations and schools. One Starter-Kit covers a class-sized borrower group. The kit travels well, the markers don’t wear out fast, and the bundled licenses go with the box.
Workshop for workshop providers, digital/AI-campus operators, youth work and adult learning. Plug-and-play in any methodology kit. The toolkit gives you the debrief structure, so you’re not improvising the after-discussion.

Why the Launch Edition is 200 boxes
We’re producing 200 Launch Edition boxes because we wanted to fund a proper first run without committing to a warehouse full of inventory. The people who back this edition are doing something concrete: they’re making the next missions possible.
In return, the Launch Edition includes things that won’t be in any later edition.
- Lifetime license for Trouble with eLiza, bundled with the Starter-Kit.
- ½-year test license for Last Seen Online, our newest mission.
- Founding-cohort status — first in line for new missions, beta tests, and field-testing invites.
Once the 200 Launch Editions are gone, the next Starter-Kit edition launches with a different configuration: standard box, expansions sold separately. The launch bundle is a one-time thing.
