“Escape4Change is an Italian startup specialized in edutainment with a ready innovative solution that generates impact on individuals and in the society.

Our history

The idea of ​​Escape4Change was born within Associazione Eufemia, experimenting with non-formal education techniques. After the first prototype, developed between Italy and Ethiopia, the methodology was refined and extended to several social, environmental and cultural topics. With more than 2000 active players, E4C has now consolidated skills to create entertaining and educational gaming experiences.

Our Mission

Escape4Change’s mission is to generate concrete improvement in the world by calling people and communities to action after experiencing edutainment (educational entertainment).

The mission fits into the broader framework of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) promoted by the United Nations. Escape4Change promotes awareness of issues of global relevance through play and cooperation.
