Love Actually

About Project

Love ACTually is an innovative Erasmus+ project addressing the rise of gender-based and sexual violence among young people. Over the course of 36 months, we brought together 77 dedicated youth and experts from the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Latvia to create engaging, innovative educational tools: online game, a board game, an escape room, and a thought-provoking podcast series.

Love ACTually games

OMG!Are you here?

OMG! Are You Here? is an engaging online game that young people can easily download to their phones. It features seven interactive stories where players get to decide how each situation unfolds. These narratives cover important topics like setting boundaries, dating, bystander intervention, and sexual harassment—real-life challenges that many young people may encounter.

The conversation topics are inspired by the voices of young people involved in our project and enriched with expert advice from our organization. This game can be enjoyed solo, but it also serves as an excellent educational tool, providing a solid foundation for discussions in relationship and sex education classes.

OMG!What would you do?

OMG! What Would You Do? isn’t just a game—it’s a powerful tool for fostering awareness and understanding of healthy relationships. We’ve all experienced those awkward moments when we didn’t know how to respond, leaving us anxious and unsure. This game collects relatable scenarios, allowing you to practice, discuss, and even laugh about them.

Whether you’re playing with friends, classmates, or colleagues, you’ll explore different approaches to navigate challenging situations and better prepare yourself for real-life interactions.

With multiple ways to play, you can engage in open discussions or compete to earn tokens in various categories. Whether you use it as an educational resource or for pure entertainment, we’re confident you’ll have a fantastic time!

OMG!ESCAPE GAME

OMG! Escape Game is a portable quest introduced at public events in Czechia, Slovakia, and Latvia. Join our colleague Robin, who needs help watering her plants, and uncover the challenges in her relationship with Bernie.

Designed for 3-5 players, the game teaches about healthy and unhealthy relationships and the importance of being an active bystander, all while solving fun puzzles with friends.

Set up in a special tent with portable furniture, this escape "room" is easy to transport to festivals. Young participants have learned to be escape game masters, helping us engage over 700 players at events like Rock for People, Metronome and Pohoda Festival, and Pride events in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Latvia

Youth

Involving Young People as Co-Creators

At the core of our project was a vibrant collaboration to develop educational games that truly resonate with young people. We knew that to create something impactful, we needed to invite youth voices into the process. So, we called upon a diverse group of enthusiastic young co-creators and testers, aged 18 to 26, to help us bring our vision to life.

Over the course of the project, we engaged 77 amazing individuals with very diverse experiences and backgrounds who dove deep into topics like respect, equality, relationship and sexual education, LGBTQIA+ issues, and gamification. Their creativity and insights were invaluable as they played a pivotal role in shaping our final products: the OMG! Escape Game, OMG! What Would You Do? board game, and OMG! Are You Here? online game.
