Abstract:In order to inspire members of the German general public to make climate positive changes in their day-to-day life, a mobile educational escape room is being created by a team of over thirty enthusiastic volunteers. The aim of this thesis is to design an educational escape room puzzle for a climate crisis escape room inside of an Airstream caravan, which encourages its users to make climate positive changes in day-to-day life. To find out how an educational escape room piece which encourages its users to make climate positive changes in day-to-day life can be created, research was conducted on how experience can be designed. In addition to this, it was researched how to design for behavioral change and this was linked to climate communication. After the research was completed, an educational escape room piece was created in which the users find a burning earth inside of an oven. The earth can be saved by placing effective climate measures on top of the oven door. Evaluation of the escape room puzzle suggested a positive outcome with the articipants having fun while solving the puzzle. In addition to this, participants indicated to have learned about the effect of climate positive measures on their carbon footprint.
