Interactive field simulations
Each game places you inside a qualitative research encounter. The decisions you make, about how to listen, what to ask, what to do with what you find, lead to different endings. None of them are wrong. All of them are partial. While based on real field work, real dilemmas, and real experiences, we maintain annonymity through pseudonyms.
