Description
PolitiTruth is a non-profit game of distinguishing political fact from fiction.
Swipe left to guess a news story is false and swipe right to guess it is true. The game is made in partnership with the Pulitzer Prize winning organization PolitiFact in the hopes of encouraging players to better discern sources of information while gathering beneficial statistics on public misconceptions. By tapping into our competitive nature, we hope to expand political consciousness.
Guesses are anonymously saved online to show how your political awareness compares to other players, and to help identify the stories people get wrong most often.
Data on public misconceptions in politics is highly reliant on surveys and our hope is with a large audience of people playing, we can make these statistics more robust and reduce response bias.
The game is premiering at E3 2017 through the IndieCade showcase.
PolitiTruth was created by Christopher Cinq-Mars Jarvis and is part of Cinq-Mars Media, a 501(c)3 devoted to education.

Aryadne,
Good but it should quiz the user on facts, not who’s lying
I think the app should be more about just the facts and not necessarily who said them. Mainly because I think it should be a quiz that tests the user’s knowledge of important facts. Not a quiz about who the user thinks is lying. Who said it could be revealed after the user guesses.
Focusing on quizzing the user on facts, I think will make it more fun. Plus users won’t feel as though their party or political views are being attacked.
When I play, I cover up who said it so I’m not influenced by my personal opinion of the speaker. It’s harder that way (which is somewhat disconcerting).

Lord Of Puns,
Interesting, but could be improved
The app is interesting and helps with learning politics but there could be a few changes. The first is maybe different game modes like vs where players compete against each other. Another is adding more detail to statements like allowing us to see not just the initials of ice but the full name. Also, allowing us to have more detail on the people who say quotes such as a short summary of their opinions could help. Finally, maybe adding a way to contact politifact for more info on a quote could help and letting us ask questions about the background and quote.
Sahlore,
Wording needs work
As others have noted, some items begin with someone “says”, then they make a statement. Are we to judge on whether or not the person said it or whether or not it’s true? Some are scored one way, some the other. Raises frustration level.

A great idea, and useful for learning
This app helps find the truth and explains how the truth was arrived at. Pay no strength to those rating the app low because they don't like it being pointed out that they are believing lies.
One suggesting for improvement: It makes for awkward reading to start a quiz item with the word "Says..." And then put the name of the source at the bottom of the screen. It would make more sense to start the item in this manner: [name of person or publication] says [whatever they said].
Thank you for this wonderful and fun tool.

Mr. Man10,
Super fun and challenges your preconceptions
Had a blast playing this. No bugs as far as I can see.
And despite what some reviewers say, it treats all sides with equal scrutiny. Like a bad team blaming the referee, some people don’t like that. I am pretty left wing and my tactic of marking any conservative as false definitely didn’t work. I’ve learned lots of new stuff I didn’t know before.

Interesting and good way to reflect on the fast paced news
It is hard to truly know which news sources are truly unbiased. But I believe they make an honest effort here. The “conservatives “ saying otherwise in your reviews, why don’t you send them your own ideas for questions or corrections? If their standard for including a question was it can’t make a republican look bad, they wouldn’t have a game.
RedImpulse,
One small issue
Some confusion on questions which are worded like, Person A says that Person B says that Trump wears a wig.
Are we judging Person A (did B actually make the statement?), or are we judging the veracity of the statement itself?

Prawnwell,
Political propaganda.
When a right leaning fact is displayed that would support the parties reputation, the quotes are slightly changed to make them “technically” false because they didn’t say it word for word.
Also some “facts” are “false” before the fact checker used an opinion based statement to prove it “wrong”
Do your own research

Ajfabb,
Fun game
Also entertaining are the reviews where people cannot handle the truth when it doesn’t mesh with their closely held tribal beliefs. Haha.

Good, neutral, and fair
Good bipartisan fact checking. Judging by other reviews, some people just can't handle the truth.
