GeogSoc x DRRH Soc present the first session of The Geographers' Guild: The Conspiracy Co-operative!
Game play:
3 roles: conspiracy theorist, debunker and citizen. conspiracy theorists build up panic and chaos on the given topic. debunkers are the voices of reason. citizens may play different roles like business owners, journalists, scientists, etc. and can choose which side to lean into!
Some resources on fake news identification, creation, and detection might be provided during a trial run on game day. Before the start of each session, players get 3 minutes of internet searching to read up if they want.
Networking between rooms is encouraged. If you are a conspiracy theorist or a debunker and you get caught in the other's room space, you can be kicked out, or you can choose to defect.
At the end there will be a referendum to see which team won :)
