Abstract
Fake Plots!
How do conspiracy theories arise and become popular? By playing we will understand from inside the mechanisms involved in developing and spreading a conspiracy theory.
In this game we will put into practice the cognitive and social mechanisms that lead many people to create conspiracy theories or find them attractive when they come across them. In the game, you will create your new conspiracy theory and disseminate it on a social platform created specifically for this purpose!
What is the objective of the game? To act as a “cognitive vaccine” to stimulate the production of antibodies against misinformation.
