| Description | Shifts in technology and policies such as Citizens United vs. FEC, increasingly highlight the importance of civic engagement and how we interpret information (i.e., biases). Self-reflection is an essential practice in shifting attitudes and behaviors, yet the use of specific game designs to prompt such self-reflection on biases is still nascent.
In Fibber - a 2012 Nominee for a Games for Change award - players decide whether statements made by presidential candidates are mostly factual or not and at the end receive an analysis of their decision-making. Content was sourced from factcheck.org. |
