Premise
True or Twisted? is a political fact-checking quiz game designed to help players separate truth from misinformation. Through a series of carefully crafted statements, players must decide if each one is true or false, but the twist is that the wrong answers reflect real-world misconceptions. It’s part game, part wake-up call.
Story/Intent
We live in a time when people often encounter fake headlines before real ones, and many vote or argue based on half-truths. This game challenges players to think critically and rewards informed awareness.
By including wrong answers based on popular conspiracy theories, the game simulates how misinformation travels — and gives players the tools to fight it.
The tone stays neutral, even when addressing controversial topics, to build trust across viewpoints. No lectures. Just facts and choices.
The Process
This project started as a reimagining of “The Election Game,” which focused on candidate knowledge. As the political climate evolved, the goal shifted: to educate players about current government actions, broken promises, and viral misinformation — whether they supported the ruling party or not.
Built using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, the game features:
• Dynamic true/false questions
• Feedback after each answer with the correct information
• A clean UI with bold fonts and visual clarity
• A system prepared to expand with chatbot features or live fact updates in the future
