 Join a Game of Mystery, Identity & Co-Design

Step into the world of The Inheritor – An immersive escape box experience that fuses the thrill of a murder mystery with the power of cultural storytelling.

🔍 You’re a recruit of the Bureau of Unexpected Cases. Your mission? Solve an unsolved mystery from 2019 involving a cryptic heirloom box and a request to find the rightful heir before that person’s time runs out.

But this is more than just a game. The Inheritor is part of a research project on imagined identity and educational escape rooms, funded by Kozminski University and Salam Lab Association.

🎓 Before the game, join a talk on co-designing games with minorities — featuring methods for participatory design and firsthand insights from the creation of The Inheritor and The People, a game focused on life at the Polish-Belarusian border during a humanitarian crisis.

🔹 The session will be led by Weronika Szatkowska MSc, co-author of both games and Małgorzata (Gosia) Ćwil PhD, researcher and lead in the research of escape boxes.

This is an invitation to play, learn, and reflect on identity, inclusion, and the future of interactive storytelling.

📅 Date: May 14
📍Where: Strandgatan 1b (Residenset)
🕑 Time: 14.00 Talk, and 15.00 the Mystery Game will start
👉 25 players can join – Register now to secure your place at https://lnkd.in/dCxRTv2i

Welcome! Join us to play, learn, and reflect on identity, inclusion, and the future of interactive storytelling.
