A game that raises attention to biometric mass surveillance:

The European Pirates and the Greens/EFA group in the European Parliament launched the social impact video game ‘The Biometric Outrun’[. In this game] players must escape facial recognition technology while navigating through three different levels of camera systems in public places. Whether gamers are able to complete the game depends on their ability to collect information on the current state of the debate on banning biometric mass surveillance.

Yeah the game isn't the best but it's clearly cool to see this kind of initiative to spread awareness
