Short summary
Understanding climate change is essential, but engaging students can be challenging. Our study investigates how gamification can enhance learning through Finding Gaia, a virtual treasure hunt where participants solve climate and geophysics-related challenges. The results show increased awareness, motivation, and knowledge retention, demonstrating that game-based learning can make complex scientific topics more accessible, engaging, and impactful.
