In the fight against Islamism, the state of North Rhine-Westphalia relies on a computer game that warns of the dangers of extremism and is supposed to stimulate thought.NRW Interior Minister Herbert Reul and media minister Nathanael Liminski (both CDU) presented the game "Who is Bilal?"on gamescom, which is scheduled to appear in February 2026 and the country costs 410,000 euros.The order was granted after the Islamist attack by Solingen last year, the Berlin Studio Paintbucket Games implemented it. They wanted to break new ground, said Liminski."We use gamification because we have to go with prevention where the radicalization takes place."You want to achieve young people on the net and sensitize them to disinformation and Islamist radicalization.The game is "not a toy, but a tool" to counter radicalization on the Internet.As many young people as possible should be achieved. The Game also included the state constitutional protection and the NRW Ministry of the Interior.Interior Minister Reul pointed out that young people generally do not read the constitutional protection report.Instead, they spend a lot of time in the internet and gaming world, so it is consequently to do prevention work there too.The state of North Rhine -Westphalia also commissioned a similar game called "Leon's Identity", which had cost around 200,000 euros.It came out in 2020 and has had around 350,000 downloads since then. The previous game is about right -wing radicalism "Leon's identity" is about drifting a young person into the right scene, the new game shows the way and the dangers of Islamism."We make people think of the game - that's worth it," says Reul.The Bilal game would be better than Leon's identity because it was more communicative and interactive that the other was "more of a viewing game". In "Who is Bilal?"the end of the game slips into the role of a friend of a young name Finn.One day the friend is contacted by Finn's mother and asked for help, she is desperately about the change in her son.The protagonist should convince Finn, who renamed Bilal, to get out of the Islamist scene.The game should also come out as an app.According to the Paintbucket boss Jörg Friedrich, it takes about two hours to play through it. dpa
