DescriptionMisinformation Game is a free and open-source social-media simulator built to study how people interact with information on social-media. To achieve this, The Misinformation Game simulates a social-media feed for research participants. Participants are shown fake social-media posts, either one at a time or in a feed format. Participants may then react to the posts and their comments. The Misinformation Game has been designed to be highly customizable so that a broad range of tightly controlled experiences can be created for participants. This customization is a core focus of The Misinformation Game, to facilitate the research of a wide array of social-media related questions.
