AlgoWatch engaged curious minds at Dublin Maker 2025 on Saturday, 30 August, by showcasing its game, Eunopia: Mission AI. The free, web-based game, co-created with 100 Irish teenagers, challenges players to evaluate rumours and sharpen their critical thinking by learning how algorithms and AI shape information.

The AlgoWatch stand saw approximately 350 visitors of all ages stop by to play the game and ask questions about the mechanics of algorithms. The team on the day included Aphra Kerr (UCD), Yuening Li (UCD), Faebitha Rahiman (UCD), and Cliona Sheridan (DCU).

The project is the Irish research team’s contribution to AlgoWatch, a Creative Europe initiative led by Savoir Devenir in Paris with partners in Portugal and Croatia. Part of the Research Ireland ADAPT Centre, the project focuses on educating the public and key intermediaries, including teachers, librarians, and media professionals, to take control of algorithms and Artificial Intelligence and to be aware of misinformation and disinformation.

The Irish research team, consisting of Jean Finley (developer), Faebitha Rahiman (writer), Yekta Kalanta Harmozi (graphics), and Aphra Kerr (PI), developed and produced the game, which is now available to play for free in four languages on the AlgoWatch website.
