An escape game about fake news, intuition, and truth
On July 28, 2026, the Duisburg Central Library will transform into a place of investigation, where puzzles, observation, and critical thinking take center stage. The escape game combines playful tension with cultural education and illustrates how easily information can mislead.
A museum burglary as a thought adventure
After a nighttime burglary, the task is to examine an allegedly valuable coin and weigh the statements of suspects against each other. Participants take on the roles of detectives, working through clues, locks, and hidden compartments of the TillyBox. Thus, an art experience in a broader sense is created: not in front of paintings, but in the space of contemplation, doubt, and precise examination of information itself.
Playfully combating disinformation
The format emphasizes aesthetic experience through interaction, curiosity, and teamwork. Step by step, the puzzle transforms into a learning space, where disinformation, source criticism, and information literacy become tangible in a practical manner. This provides a low-threshold access to media education and democratic judgment, especially for young visitors.
The Central Library as a vibrant cultural venue
The Central Library in the City Window offers a fitting framework: light-filled floors, modern comfort, and an open environment for education, media, and encounters. The venue stands for cultural education, service orientation, and a place where knowledge is not only conveyed but made experiential.
Conclusion
This escape game convincingly merges excitement, learning, and cultural practice. Those who enjoy a clever, playful, and entertaining engagement with the topic of fake news should not miss this date and experience the puzzle live on-site.
