We’re proud to share that Agents of Influence was recognized as part of the Forbes Under 30 – Education list.
What began as an interactive storytelling experiment has grown into a game now reaching 500+ schools—designed to help students recognize manipulation, think critically, and choose something better in a complex information landscape.
Grateful to everyone who’s been part of making this work possible.

WE DID IT!!! Yesterday we crossed $30,000 and reached 100% funding on our Kickstarter campaign. Thanks to everyone who supported this project, Agents of Influence has taken a huge step forward toward becoming a reality.

REWARD UPDATE: For the final 2 weeks of our campaign we are offering steeply discounted tickets to our 2 panels on Educational Games and Media Literacy + Misinformation. If you are a current backer looking to attend one or both of these panels, now is your chance!
Today we're featuring another counter-misinformation game that inspired us: Go Viral! Much like Bad News, the goal is to get likes on social media by posting fake or sensationalized content. We challenge anyone to top our score of 23,591 /en
Highlight: Bad News, one of many games that inspired us to make Agents of Influence. This 15-30min game uses inoculation theory, asking you to take the role of a fake news-monger who scores points by attracting followers with false content. Check it out! /#intro
We are excited to have our work featured on multiple blogs today! Thank you to Connect Learning Alliance, Themed Attraction, and Tom Driscoll! Links in bio.
