Conceptual proposal and implementation of a "Data Escape Game"
Objectives
The objective is to create a "Data Escape Game" to familiarise State agents with data concepts in an engaging way. This project contributes to actions 6 and 8 of the "Talents and Skills" pillar of Luxembourg’s data strategy, thereby helping to foster a data culture and data literacy within the public sector.
Challenge details
The game requires participants to be physically present. It should be designed as a portable game that can be played in any meeting room or conference room, without the need for any special infrastructure. The idea would be to offer this game regularly as an event in the physical space of the GovTech Lab, accompanied by the Data and/or GovTech Lab team from the Ministry for Digitalisation.
The game will consist of two parts:
1) An application for tablets or other electronic devices to guide participants through the game. The application will provide clues, be used to solve certain puzzles, and set the pace of the game. The application must be easy to maintain by the Ministry for Digitalisation.
2) Physical items (cards, USB sticks, documents, books, etc.) distributed throughout the room that participants will use as data sources (clues).
The game will be offered as a team building and training activity for various departments/teams/divisions of ministries, administrations and public institutions. The number of participants is to be determined but should be limited to a maximum of six people.
The game must be designed so that it can be solved by participants with basic knowledge of data.
The game will last between two and three hours. This is to ensure that participants only need to dedicate at most half a working day for this activity.
The activity should be considered as a training course (in line with INAP requirements), and participants should be able to request a certificate of completion. Specific criteria will be communicated to the selected service provider.
Other ideas to be considered as optional:
- A prize to be awarded to participants for completing the game.
- A leaderboard for participating teams, with a score or simply the time taken to "complete" the game.
