The Science of Pre-Bunking

The Prompt

Place Harmony Square in its scientific and ludic lineage. Cite at least three sources: one on inoculation theory as a psychological framework (McGuire's original formulation or a contemporary review), one on the empirical validation of Harmony Square or its sister games (the Harvard Kennedy School Misinformation Review study, the Journal of Cognition study of Bad News, or another peer-reviewed publication), and one on the broader challenge of misinformation in democratic societies. Explain what it means for a game to be empirically validated as a cognitive intervention, and what that achievement implies about the relationship between play and resilience.

Completion Criteria

Three citations (one theoretical, one empirical, one contextual) and a short essay of three or four paragraphs on what inoculation games demonstrate about the serious potential of play.
