I'm looking forward to the #SeriousPlay Conference in Durham, NC this coming week. I can't wait to learn from people who design 'serious games' and talk about what we're doing at @investigativesimulations.org.

🦀 🦀 🦀 We'll be at #IRE26 near Washington, DC later this week. We have answers to all your questions about how simulation games can teach journalists and public interest researchers how to follow the money. Our founder, @johndellosso.bsky.social, will be around. Come say hello!

@dgillison.bsky.social and I had a packed house on a Saturday morning at #IRE25 in New Orleans last year for our session on figuring out who benefits from secretive offshore companies. And now, we're bringing it back home to Washington, DC (sort of) for #IRE26 (@ire.org)

This past weekend in Paris, investigators uncovered a vast criminal conspiracy. They followed paper trails across borders. They traced links between organized crime, professional enablers and corrupt officials. They worked under pressure. You probably didn't hear about it in the news though.

🇧🇪 Goedendag ! We are in Mechelen, Belgium for Dataharvest 2026, put on by @journalismarena.eu. If you want to hear about how we are using simulation games to teach investigators how to follow the money and promote accountability, our founder @johndellosso.bsky.social is here to spread the word.

OpenFacto a accueilli les 24-25 mai John Dell'Osso @investigativesimulations.org pour un jeu de simulation mobilisant toutes les compétences requises à une enquête financière sur des cas de corruption, de fraudes et autres conflits d'intérêt. Un grand succès pour ce nouveau format pédagogique. ✌️
