Why

"Misinformation" & "fake news" have been buzzwords for several years. In the past year however it has been revealed more than ever just how harmful these can become. Therefore, we hope that with Viral we can help raise players’ awareness and enhance their interest in this particular topic.

About 🗺️

This is a multiplayer turn-based online game that requires strong teamwork to complete.

Travel around town cleaning up the spread of three types of misinformation:

  • "social" 📱 misinformation from social networks and other online platforms
  • "relations" 🧔 misinformation from friend and relatives
  • "community" 🏪 misinformation from other institutions around the town.

Viral Logo

To win you must debunk all three types of misinformation. Each type of misinformation is debunked by collecting 4 source cards representing that type of misinformation. The game is over if the chaos meter increases to 100%, you run out of source cards or if you run out of any type of misinformation marker. So, hurry up!

The game is an adaptation of the the popular boardgame "Pandemic", "Hot-zone North America" version, created by zmangames.
