Save our Sasquatch with Emotions
A media literacy game that teaches emotional awareness and its role in misinformation, helping players recognize how feelings can influence belief and decision-making.
Misinformation often spreads because it triggers strong emotional responses—fear, anger, excitement, or urgency. Save Our Sasquatch with Emotions is an interactive learning experience where players analyze digital content, identify emotional manipulation tactics, and develop strategies to think critically before sharing information.
In this game, Sasquatch is in trouble—caught in a web of misinformation! Players must work together to separate fact from fiction, recognize emotionally charged content, and use logical reasoning to guide Sasquatch to safety.
