Show HN: A game about fake news and memes

Commenters generally liked the concept of a game that tests spotting fake news and meme content, calling it fun and interesting, but many raised usability and content concerns. senectus1 and tehnoslow described the interface as clunky on desktop and hard to read on high-resolution screens, with unclear feedback when rounds are completed (furyofantares). TejasH5 said the example videos don’t play, NDlurker blamed unfamiliar political figures for mistakes, and sublinear said the game rewards a trivia/spot-the-AI mindset rather than teaching media-literacy skills. Several wanted more contemporary, substantive examples and better formatting of results.

Other commenters questioned the approach and presentation. totetsu argued that established media-literacy and public-health materials or university course readers are more helpful than a flash-card app driven by an LLM. starshadowx2 objected to an immediate notification-permission prompt, and dang called out excessive self-promotion for having posted the project many times. Overall opinion divides between people who see potential and want refinement (better UX, up-to-date content, clearer pedagogy) and those who view it as superficial or poorly executed compared with existing educational resources.
