The \u2018Cranky Uncle\u2019 game \u2013 a mobile\/web game designed to fight misinformation on climate change \u2013 has been adapted into the\u00a0\u2018Cranky Uncle Vaccine\u2019 game for use in East African countries.<\/span><\/p>\n

Melbourne academic Dr John Cook developed the \u2018Cranky Uncle\u2019 game to incentivise players to build resilience against misinformation.<\/span><\/p>\n

The game relies on inoculation theory as a solution to misinformation. In the game, the cranky uncle character teaches the player techniques of science denial (e.g. fake experts and logical fallacies). The theory is that exposure to a weakened form of misinformation can develop cognitive immunity.<\/span><\/p>\n

The new \u2018Cranky Uncle Vaccine\u2019 game was co-designed through workshops held in Uganda, Kenya and Rwanda, and informed by a review of studies on vaccine misinformation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Though it is climate-focused, the original version of the \u2018Cranky Uncle\u2019 game provides helpful tools for fighting misinformation in general.<\/span><\/p>\n
