As fake news’ threat to the truth and democracy becomes more imminent, it is increasingly important to educate people on how to spot fake news.

Users play as a professional fact checker, learning three most important questions used by fact checkers. The game is designed by using three most effective pedagogy to teach critical thinking. Evaluation is not part of the project due to time constraint.
