Achtung
Eltern-Profi-Tipp
Play a round or two alongside your child and ask: 'How do we know this is a fact? Where else could we check?' This simple question transforms the quiz from a passive fact-absorber into an active exercise in source evaluation.
Top-Fähigkeiten, die entwickelt werden
Entwicklungsbereiche
Repräsentation?Wie vielfältig die Charaktere des Spiels in Bezug auf Geschlecht und Ethnizität sind. Höher = authentischere Darstellung. Nur zur Anzeige – beeinflusst die Zeit-Empfehlung nicht.
Bechdel-Test?Der Bechdel-Test prüft, ob ein Spiel mindestens zwei benannte weibliche Figuren hat, die miteinander über etwas anderes als einen Mann sprechen. Ein einfaches Maß für Repräsentation.— N/A – keine benannten Charaktere.
The game has no characters or narrative — it is a pure flashcard-style quiz with no characters of any gender.
Eltern-Profi-Tipp
Co-playing turns the game into a media-literacy conversation. When children learn to ask *why* something is considered a fact — not just *that* it is — they build the critical-thinking habits needed to navigate misinformation throughout their lives.
Was dein Kind entwickelt
Covid19: Facts & Fake News is a lean, purposeful educational quiz that directly exercises critical thinking and media literacy. Players must evaluate real-world health claims and distinguish verified facts from misinformation — a genuinely valuable cognitive skill. The confirmation mechanic (answering twice before the result is revealed) discourages guessing and lightly reinforces active recall, boosting memory retention. Reading comprehension is meaningfully exercised as players must parse nuanced public-health statements. The learning-transfer potential is notable: the habit of asking 'is this a fact or misinformation?' is directly applicable to everyday news consumption, especially relevant during a pandemic.

Über dieses Spiel
Covid19: Facts & Fake News was originally supposed to be a mobile Quizlet-like app launched on Google Play and App Store to present informations about the virus ravaging the world in a gamifyable way. Although the information was taken from public sources of governmental health authorities and WHO, Google Play refused to publish it, so I want to at least share it with you guys here.
