A game where the less you know and the more curious you are, the better!

With this game, I wanted to explore the human experience of uncertainty as an opportunity for curiosity.

We live in a world of omnipresent technology, where abundant information and data are at our fingertips. Getting a quick answer to any question became so easy, that we are increasingly uncomfortable with uncertainty. But how much does this prevent us from taking a moment to question, to speculate, to imagine and think critically?

AI chatbots are designed and programmed to avoid uncertainty, trained never to admit “I’m not sure”.

Yet, I think that not being sure about something is actually what makes discovering it so interesting.

The claims are too far from the original evidence. This game is meant to encourage people to look for reliable sources and foster a critical mindset.

The idea is also to make more visible how hard it is to answer to over simplified statements, as these are not directly verifiable and to make some progress in science, we need to frame them within a context that makes them verifiable. That’s sometimes why science seems to advance at such slow pace.

With practice, I hope players will become eager to find new claims and statements on things they’re not quite sure, and resist the urge to get a quick and simple yes / no answer, giving in space for discussion and reflection.
