Description

The escape game “Save the Glaciers!” is an educational game created by the European research project PROTECT. It aims to provide students with knowledge about glaciers, their movement, their responses to climate change, and what we can do to slow their melting.


This is a collaborative game in the format of an escape game. Players must solve four successive puzzles to unlock the next one until they reach the end of the game. They work together to find solutions and progress at the same pace throughout the session. There are three difficulty levels (easy, medium, expert/glaciologist).


Target Audience: Adolescents aged 11 and above
Number of Players: 1 to 5


Each puzzle is designed to help players discover and understand the following processes:
• Melting mountain glaciers contribute to sea-level rise.
• Anatomy and mass balance of a mountain glacier: What are glaciers made of? How are they formed? How do they grow and shrink?
• Glacier flow: Glaciers are not static; they slowly flow under their own weight.
• Mountain glaciers are losing mass worldwide due to climate change, as observed in the retreat of their fronts.

The game is available in English, French, German and Catalan.
