Disinformation Quest

An interactive narrative experience exploring the mechanics of disinformation through a thought-provoking simulation. Available in both English and Romanian at 2-plus-2.com.

Project Overview

This project serves as both an educational tool and a thought experiment on how mathematical truths can be challenged through various psychological and social mechanisms. Through an immersive game-like experience, users take on the role of a disinformation agent tasked with spreading the notion that "2+2=5".

Understanding how disinformation works is crucial for defending against it. By experiencing these tactics firsthand, we can better identify and resist them in reality.
