Fake or Fact?

  • What's your agenda? Are you Red or Blue? Do you read the news to confirm your own beliefs, or to learn new information?

    This is a tabloid-themed game that I made for the University of Chicago's Gamified Data course.

    In this game, you lose points for every time you either a.) believe a news headline that isn't true or b.) refuse to believe a true article. You gain points by voting correctly on the veracity of each article (and multiple choice styled side-bars). To beat the game, you need a positive number of points. Good Luck!
