SaveGREEN launches Twitter Adventure on ecological connectivity in the Carpathians
The SaveGREEN project has launched its own Twitter game. ‘Make your own story’ – or ‘MYOS’ – is a playful and informative way to help users learn more about on-site nature conservation and ecological connectivity.
CEEweb, in its Lead Partner role for SaveGREEN project communication, has developed eight unique MYOS games with the help of the project partners. The game’s storylines are connected to SaveGREEN project pilot sites and focus on a specific problem pertaining to each pilot area.
The challenge for users is to choose from one of two options at successive stages to advance through the story, which proves to be both fun and informative. A succession of wrong choices will put the user on a dead-end path, so it’s important to choose carefully!
Translations of the Twitter games will soon be available in the national languages of all the participating countries!
Now that we’ve piqued your interest, it’s time to begin the adventure! Start by clicking on the links below to challenge yourself – and your friends!
