  • Game

    Starlight Stadium is an online learning game that will send you on a virtual human rights monitoring mission in a fictional country, where you will gradually learn and apply the core skills needed to investigate human rights violations i.e. monitoring, digital security, data collection, interviewing and much more.

    A colleague in crisis asks you to continue an investigation he started which quickly unfolds into systemic human rights violations with links to your country’s top leadership. Set in a fictional country ahead of a global sports event, the government fails to protect laborers who have been compelled to work in untenable conditions by the company constructing stadiums. Players must find witnesses and victims, interview them and systematically document the abuses without putting themselves or their collaborators at risk. They must choose carefully the right thing to say, record, and report as well as how to communicate securely. Just as in real life human rights work, each choice has potentially dire consequences and you don’t know who to trust.

    Click here to start Starlight Stadium Game.

    Your opinion is important to us, therefore, don’t forget to fill in the survey after playing the game.
