PoO: Propaganda or Opinion?

Can you spot the difference between Propaganda and Opinions?

In an effort to teach digital literacy to as many people as possible in an engaging way, I began to develop a browser-based game called, “PoO! Propaganda or Opinion” which uses AI generated examples of Propaganda and Opinion statements to test how well the user can differentiate the two. Considering we are currently experiencing a time of massive amounts of dis- & mis-information, Media Literacy is more important than ever. The rules of the game are simple, for a pre-determined time a statement will appear on the screen and the user will press the “1” key for Propaganda or the “0” key for Opinion. For each correctly identified statement the user will gain 2 points while each incorrect answer will cost you 1 point. After going through all the statements (or if the timer hits zero) your score is presented and your answers made available for review. In time, this game could be developed further with more features and options such as real life examples or a versus mode.

Below is an example of the MVP of the game for your enjoyment, some features may not have been enabled yet:
