This game challenges players to think critically and rewards informed awareness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By including wrong answers based on popular conspiracy theories, the game simulates how misinformation travels \u2014 and gives players the tools to fight it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tone stays neutral, even when addressing controversial topics, to build trust across viewpoints. No lectures.
