Lamboozled

Hi there! Welcome to Green Meadows, young lamb...

Oh, wait, what do I call you?

Ok, Editor, do you think about doing this job now?

I'm not sure I
can do this on
my own icon

I'll be the best
editor you have ever
seen!

Have you worked for us before?

Yes

No (first time player)

Since you’re the editor, tell me how you’d fact check

I hear you’re looking for a job… But we don’t just hire anyone at the Green Meadows Post... Let’s test your lamb chops and see if you’re cut out for this job...

There’s a lot going on in our town, but some stories just want to pull the wool over your eyes…

Your job is to verify the news and make sure you publish the real ones. And remember, whatever you do, don’t get LAMBOOZLED!

Here’s your first story assignment…

Okay, a few other things to keep in mind before you start...

Here’s the timer. You have to be accurate, yet also mindful of time. You have a limited number of hours (minutes) on each day.

Name

Editorial intern

Your profile shows your picture, name, and current position. At the moment, you’re an intern. There’s also your reputation meter that goes up when you publish the real news and spot the fake ones. When it gets full, you get promoted!

Here shows up any article/blog/post that you have to examine. You can directly click on components to interact with them.

You have to review a certain number of article each day to pass the level. However, you are encouraged to go for more to get more points.

And here’s where all the evidence you collect (from your interaction with the news) are listed. After finishing examining an article and collecting evidence, you click on Submit to move to the next article.

And finally comes LAMBOOZLED! Meter, which is an indicator on how much you got tricked. It goes up everytime you make a mistake when examining the news. To be able to save Green Meadows, make sure you to keep the meter low to have high credibility.

Finish

Good luck! Time to work!

Not bad. You managed to examine X elements and missed/misjudged Y ones. You got promoted into an Assistant Editor.

You might want to pay more attention to sources embedded in article next time.

Day 2

There’s an upcoming mayoral election in GM. I’m assigning a team of 3 juniors to cover anything related to the campaigns and candidates.

You will start to see more election-related news now. Good luck.

... oh wait, btw,

See me at the office when you’re done... There’s something important that you need to know...

Q1 : you win the game --> reveal the truth about Bruce, know where the missing journalist at
Q2: you win, but not with excellent performance --> reveal the truth about Bruce, but you never know where the journalist went missing
Q3: Below average --> you get know where the journalist went missing, but Bruce wins and makes a mess
Q4: you terribly lost --> Bruce wins, and you go missing

Ok, Editor, now that you have done some editing, what do you think about doing this job now?

I'm still not sure I
can do this on
my own icon

I'll be the best
editor you have ever
seen!

Would you recommend this game to your friends?

No

Definitely
