Ok, the simple cartoon sequential format is not your all-singing-dancing game app! But the 5 star rating is for how this App is carefully crafted to engage you in a fun but very serious way to teach you essential skills in our social media world where everyone is an “expert”. Unlike just reading about a topic, this game format makes you think actively all the way through. The Cranky Uncle teaches you and defines all his science-denying strategies. Then he quizzes you so you know you can spot and outwit how he operates. The higher your score the more cranky you make him!
Three suggestions. For international users some of the US famous names aren’t familiar. I didn’t realise until the end that what was on his head was the tinfoil hat - and I’m not sure everyone would know why cranks might wear a tinfoil hat!! Encouraging you to answer quickly (to earn more points) doesn’t seem right to me: critical thinking is “slow thinking” and should take all the time an individual needs to get good answers!
