In the age of mis- and disinformation, kids need to be aware of what they’re consuming online. Congrats to @Alterea_Inc on winning @AspenPolicyHub's #InfoDisorderPrizeCompetition for "Agents of Influence": a spy game that teaches students how to sort fact from fiction!

Great coverage. We think misinformation is a huge problem too! That's why we've created a spy-themed educational video game to teach students how to combat it in their daily lives. Check out what we're up to: bit.ly/AgentsInfluenceKickst…

Today we're featuring another counter-misinformation game that inspired us: Go Viral! Much like Bad News, the goal is to get likes on social media by posting fake or sensationalized content. We challenge anyone to top our score of 23,591 goviralgame.com/en
Highlight: @getbadnews, one of many games that inspired us to make Agents of Influence. This 15-30min game uses inoculation theory, asking you to take the role of a fake news-monger who scores points by attracting followers with false content. Check it out getbadnews.com/#intro
We are also featured today on @ThemedAttractn ! Learn more about how we, an immersive theatre company, ended up making an educational video game. themedattraction.com/agents-…
