🔍 The Story Behind MythBusters

In the year 2130, truth has become a rare commodity. The world is flooded with misinformation, conspiracy theories, and AI-generated falsehoods. The line between fact and fiction has all but disappeared.

You have been hired as a fact-checker, tasked with analyzing news headlines and determining whether they are true or false. Every choice you make impacts public perception and trust in information. Will you restore truth or let deception reign?

💡 What Inspired Us

With the rise of misinformation, we wanted to create an interactive way to highlight the dangers of fake news. Inspired by real-world issues, this game pushes players to think critically about the information they consume and spread.

📚 What We Learned

The complexity of misinformation and how people are influenced by it.
Integrating game logic with backend systems efficiently.
Creating engaging animations and user interfaces that enhance gameplay.
Managing time effectively in a fast-paced development cycle.
