Online scavenger hunts

The scavenger hunts allow young people between the ages of 10 and 14 to expand their knowledge of various online topics in a fun way. The players receive short riddles from a chatbot and research the answers themselves on Saferinternet.at. Only when a question is answered correctly do they move on to the next one. For each correct answer there are one or more solution letters. These are collected and finally result in a solution sentence. The sentence is required to successfully complete the scavenger hunt. As a reward for taking part, the players receive a certificate - they can also see how fast they were compared to the other players based on a ranking.

So far, there are five scavenger hunts: these deal with the topics of cyberbullying, fake news, digital devices, social networks and influencers. The scavenger hunts each last around 45 minutes and are therefore perfect for a teaching unit. Of course, they can also be used in youth work.
