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
Looks cheap and too easy
The app looks and feels cheap, it could've simply been a website because it looks and feels like one, it isn't very adapted to my device (iPhone SE 1).
It is way too easy to "master" each category requiring only one or two questions to do so and move on to the next level, I'm not truly learning the subject before in already moving on.
Other than that it's good someone is trying to teach people of fallacies and spotting deceiving behavior.
Simply lovely!
Simply lovely!
Exactly as simple it should be to have an impact.
