Bullying
Janka’s Story
The main goal of this escape room is to let the participants experience bullying and cyberbulling, from each part of the circle of bullying, and also to make them understand the phenomenon of bullying.
Through the game the participants have an opportunity to investigate the story about an exact bullying as an outsider and the debriefing will be an opportunity for them to reflect on the complexity of this issue and on how they can contribute to a positive change.
Objectives
Our story’s main character is Janka, a high school student, who is a very talented, but less popular girl. She has very good grades in almost every subject, and she is also a member of the school’s volleyball team. Her best and only friend is Petra, they do everything together.
In the last days, Janka’s mom found out that not only did her grades start to get worse, but she also missed a couple of training sessions in the volleyball team as well.
When we enter her room, we receive a very angry phone call from Petra, in which she basically breaks up with Janka because of what she has done. From here, we must find out the story behind Janka’s downfall and try to figure out what happened between Janka and Petra.
