Description
We all have a cranky uncle who thinks he knows better than the world’s scientists. But how do you make sense of his arguments and conspiracy theories? The way to understand your cranky uncle is to become a cranky uncle! If you’re going to spot someone cheating at cards, first you have to learn how to cheat at cards.
In this game, Cranky Uncle teaches you the rhetorical techniques and logical fallacies he uses to deny science. Climate change, evolution, vaccination, a round Earth - he’s never met a science he wouldn’t deny! The deeper you get into the game, the more resilient you become against misinformation.
What’s New
Version 3.8.0
Added Romanian locale. Restyled Trail and Score screens.
Ratings and Reviews
Needs testing on more phones
Love the concept but dialogue boxes do not fit on iPhone SE 1st generation (2016) screen.
Should be part of every school syllabus
I am so heartened to see this app exists. Full of necessary information and a great way to help children and young adults (or old) navigate politics on social media. Hopefully this app will continue to get the funding it deserves and continue to be further refined and maintained.
Positive climate change education
Provides an effective means to educate yourself information about climate change and fallacies that deniers use. I am sure more is to come after you complete everything though
