Media Literacy
Disinformation is one of the defining challenges of our time. The media literacy products from Spencer Striker Digital Learning take a fresh approach: they put the learner on the other side of the screen. Through satirical, role-reversal gameplay, you run the influence operation yourself, deploy the tactics, and watch the consequences unfold. By experiencing how manipulation works from the inside, players build durable resilience against propaganda, fake news, and coordinated digital manipulation.
Chaos Corp | Troll Farm Simulator (2025)
A satirical mobile game that casts players as the mastermind behind a shadowy troll farm working to manipulate the Philippine political landscape. By strategically deploying disinformation attacks and sowing social discord, players confront the real-world mechanics of propaganda and digital manipulation, and learn to recognize them in the wild.
Developed with media and politics experts and launched at Web Summit Qatar 2025. Winner of the 2025 Anthem Award for Responsible Technology.
Free on Google Play and the App Store.
Chaos Corp 2: Serpent of House Sung (in production)
A satirical mobile game that casts players as Kim Seo-joon, the underestimated adopted strategist inside a powerful, corrupt Korean chaebol. After the patriarch's death triggers a war among his entitled heirs, players wield real disinformation tactics, astroturfing, deepfakes, and character assassination, to orchestrate the dynasty's collapse from within. Where the original exposed election propaganda, Serpent reveals the hidden machinery of corporate sabotage. Built on the Anthem Award-winning Chaos Corp framework with an all-new "Mahogany and Monitors" visual style. Currently in production.
