Advising
Zer is a role-playing game meant to introduce kids to the tools they need to recognize fake news articles. The user plays the role of an evil scientist, building fake news articles. The goal is to go viral with your fake news. In building a fake article, the user has to learn about the ingredients of fake news. The user must understand what factors lead to an article going viral in order to win the game. In the process, they learn about the system of fake news through gameplay. We aim to increase digital literacy through play. To see more: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DI1P02vGVFQ
