Misinfo Madness

A multiplayer card game where you and your team separate the misinformation from the truth about current events

Project Details

My team and I were tasked with creating a product that would serve to educate users about misinformation online. We decided to use our combined skills to create a team-based card game to help players become better at idetifying real vs. fake content online. I focused my design and research skills on organizing headlines, the design of the actual cards, and user testing with peers. While we never got the time to create an officially printed version of this game, you will find examples of the cards used in playtests below.

You can find a slidedeck describing gameplay rules and further details about our creation process HERE.
