The game sharpens the player’s instinct to question, check, and think critically before trusting or sharing information. Quick, challenging, and smart—Truth Hunt turns the fight against disinformation into a game. Developed for Android and available in Portuguese. Download it here.
Fact or Foe is an interactive experience that promotes learning through gameplay. Players are presented with a series of news items and publications and must determine whether they are factual or not. They can explore a website to find the right tools for fact-checking and source verification, uncover who is behind the news, combat disinformation, and make informed decisions. Some publications may attempt to capture the players’ attention and spread false information, putting their critical thinking skills to the test. Designed to be responsive, it can be accessed via computer (desktop or notebook) and mobile devices (smartphone or tablet). Available here in Portuguese and English.
