Real or AI? Train Your Eyes with Factimage. Can you tell a real photograph from an AI-generated image? Synthetic images are everywhere. As AI image generation becomes more sophisticated, developing a sharp eye for visual authenticity is an essential skill for the modern digital citizen. Factimage is the fast-paced visual literacy game designed to train your brain to spot the telltale signs of generative AI before you share something you shouldn't. The Game is Simple. The Challenge is Real. A photo appears — you decide: REAL or AI-GENERATED? Speed Matters: The faster you identify the image, the higher your score. High Stakes: A wrong guess costs you points. Zoom In: Use the pinch-to-zoom feature to inspect suspicious textures, warped backgrounds, and AI artifacts before making your verdict. Why Factimage? Building on the award-winning design of Factitious — the viral visual literacy game from an academic research team at American University — Factimage moves media literacy training into the visual domain. While Factitious sharpens your ability to evaluate written sources, Factimage builds a "pause-and-question" reflex for photorealistic AI imagery. Together, they create a complete toolkit for the modern digital citizen. Key Features — Global Leaderboards: See how your visual literacy skills stack up against players worldwide. — Personal Stats: Track your accuracy history and watch your detection skills improve over time. — Forensic Learning: After every round, read the reasoning behind each image to learn the specific markers of AI generation. — 8 Languages: Play in English, Spanish, French, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, or Hindi. — No Account Required: Free to play. No login, no subscription. Who Is This For? — Students & Educators: A gamified tool for digital literacy and media studies. Free educator's guide at mindtoggle.com/factimage/educators-kit.html — Journalists & Researchers: A training environment for evaluating visual evidence in the age of generative AI. — Social Media Users: Build the critical thinking skills to slow down before sharing.
