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. www.cinqmarsmedia.com www.politifact.com

A quick and easy to play game, all you need to do is guess whether Trump wrote this tweet or not. Seems simple enough, but even our developers seem to struggle with it. Remember to show off to your friends how well you know the US president with your guess streak. Test yourself against our always growing tweets database, we have only 100 at the moment, but you know you can count on President Trump to help us on that front ;)

Both are free to download. Twump sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. PolitiTruth asks for nothing beyond the download.
Twump holds the better App Store score, 3.5 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PolitiTruth has 35 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 42% of PolitiTruth's written reviews are positive against 0% of Twump's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
PolitiTruth ships an update every 36 months, Twump every 17 months. Both last shipped on November 2, 2026.
