Escape Room: Galaxy Challenge

Know Media

Dive into K-pop drama and uncover the real story.

Join us for this K-pop themed escape room at the library! Registration is required.

PLANET5 is a popular new K-pop group. You’ve just become a new fan and a friend is passing along lots of information about the mistreatment of your favorite band member, and with a new fan campaign to protest launching in less than an hour, you have to track down whatever information you can to uncover the truth and spread the word!

Questions? Contact Meagan at meaganh@deschuteslibrary.org or 541-617-7055.

Galaxy Challenge was designed to explore how persuasive messaging, online communities, and human biases shape how people interpret information in digital spaces. Set within the story of a fictional K-Pop band, the game shows how rumors and misleading information can travel inside fandom communities. In the game, players encounter compelling claims, selective data visualizations, and even a deepfake video. Each element illustrates how information can feel credible, especially when it aligns with emotions, time pressure, or group dynamics.

This escape room is from Loki's Loop. Loki’s Loop is a design research team at the University of Washington that develops escape room games and other play-based experiences for navigating complex information environments. We are a collaboration among the Center for an Informed Public, GAMER Group, KidsTeam and Marmot Solutions. Find more information here.
