Radio Hunter is an investigative digital game that integrates an educational ecosystem, combining mystery, exploration, and learning in interactive experiences. The player takes on the role of a detective involved in investigations linked to important scientific discoveries, facing challenges and events that connect narrative, knowledge, and decision-making in a dynamic and engaging way.
While conducting investigations and making strategic decisions, the player explores real curiosities about major scientific breakthroughs, scientists, and historical milestones in a playful and engaging manner.
Some facts are real... others you will be certain are not. The truth is that Radio Hunter was made to spark doubts; that is exactly the goal. The blend of facts, real locations, and fictional elements is intentional, designed to provoke the player's curiosity. By questioning what is true or invented, they are encouraged to dig deeper into the subject. This is the essence of tangential learning.
No, you do not need any prior knowledge in science or history to play Radio Hunter. The game was developed to be accessible to everyone, regardless of your level of knowledge on these topics. Throughout the adventure, you will follow scientific discoveries told in a completely different, fun, and interactive way, with content explained clearly and engagingly.
Thus, Radio Hunter is perfect both for those encountering these subjects for the first time and for those who already have an interest or background in the field.
Yes. Radio Hunter will be available in Portuguese, English, and Spanish, allowing more people around the world to enjoy the experience and have fun with the game. The language can be selected in the game's main menu.
Yes. All content in Radio Hunter underwent a technical and scientific curation process aimed at validating educational quality and the proposed experience.
The first stage consisted of approval by the UFRJ Ethics Committee. Next, the project was evaluated by specialists in content and technology, contributing to the technical and pedagogical refinement of the experience. Subsequently, the game was presented during a thesis defense to the evaluation committee of the UFRJ master's program, constituting an important stage of academic validation.
As recognition of this path, the Radio Hunter demo version was presented at an international scientific conference (SEE MORE), where it received an Honorable Mention, reinforcing the consistency and potential of the developed proposal.
