Social Impact Game: Combating Disinformation

Overview

This interactive experience places players in the role of a propagandist, allowing them to explore the mechanics of online misinformation and its influence on public discourse.

Objectives

Build an online presence that can disseminate conspiracies.
Understand how deceptive content can shape societal perceptions.
Reflect on the broader consequences of disinformation for everyday life and community well‑being.

Development Partnership

In collaboration with the University of Cambridge, we have created a novel educational tool—an “immunization” against false narratives. By constructing misinformation within the game, players develop an intuitive ability to identify and counter real-world deceptive tactics.

Technical Details

Design: Developed by Dutch studio Gusmanson.
Platform: A responsive Vue.js web application powered by a WordPress backend, providing users with a comprehensive disinformation toolkit.
