About this game
No matter what conspiracy theory your zany (or just misinformed) friends and family subscribe to, it can be hard to shake them of their fallacies. Because they just don’t accept the science of it all. So, now science is going to take a stab at the old adage, “if you can’t beat them — join them” in the case of climate change deniers.
Right now, you might be arguing with him until you’re blue in the face, but this game will teach you to throw the arguments of even your crankiest climate-misinformed uncle back at him. Think about it. If you’re going to spot someone cheating at cards, first you have to learn how to cheat at cards. So let’s learn the arguments of denial to defeat them.

Informative, but the log in functionality is broken. The auth redirects to localhost. The developers should update the redirect URL properly.

A great game to learn skills to navigate the world of misinformation. Having played for a little I already feel better prepared to assess arguements and statements on their logical and factual merit. The game contains clear, well structured explanations using contemporary examples and is easy to follow and fun to play. It's like Jedi training for cranky uncles... depending on which side of the force you want to be on.

Unable to read text when using Android in Dark Mode. It would be great if the pictures didn't use transparency as black lines are missing and white text in white cartoon bubbles is impossible to read. App does work when Dark mode is turned off but I didn't enjoy the continuous quiz question format, especially after completing their questionnaire before I'd used the app for the first time. Dislike the requirement of email for a game and is off putting to the target audience.
