This event will take place in the Ground Floor Event Space Synthesising information to form a critical argument is one of the more challenging academic skills for students to grasp. A true scholar is not only able to draw insightful connections between sources; they pull together the most credible and relevant information. Students often struggle with how to put this into practice, so our game explores how these typically serious skills might be acquired through playful means.With influence from logic puzzles and role-playing games such as The Traitors and Town of Salem, players must synthesise sources to identify correct claims within a time limit. However, hidden troublemakers will cause disruption and mischief, while flying beneath the radar of those hunting them.In the first part of this breakout session, we will be playing the game. The second part will be spent reflecting on the experience and discussing future iterations.
