In the framework of the HVET project of an Erasmus+ project we had the opportunity to create an educational game for VET students. The Hybrid Mystery is an innovative hybrid educational game designed to re-engage Vocational Education and Training (VET) students by blending real-world and digital learning experiences. Developed to tackle issues such as student disengagement, social isolation, and learning loss, the game fosters collaboration, problem-solving, and critical thinking.
Set in a futuristic hybrid planet, the game challenges learners to explore and colonize this new world through interactive tasks that range from outdoor activities to virtual problem-solving and teamwork-based assignments. Students’ progress through different levels of engagement—from individual tasks to international collaboration, making learning both immersive and interactive.
Teachers play a key role in managing the game, customizing tasks, and monitoring student progress. The platform offers pre-defined and customizable tasks that are automatically or manually assessed, ensuring alignment with educational goals.
By combining technology, storytelling, and experiential learning, the Hybrid Mystery transforms VET education into an engaging and motivating journey, helping students develop essential life and career skills.
Piloting of the game is taking place in all project countries and will be released for the public after the end of February.
