Ripple Effect

PLEASE FULL SCREEN TO PLAY THE GAME

In Ripple Effect, you play as the newest algorithm manager for a massive social media platform. Your job is simple: keep users scrolling and keep the shareholders happy. But every post you approve ripples out into the real world, affecting public trust, mental health, and political stability.

HOW TO PLAY:
Review the incoming content queue and choose one of four actions for each post:

• AMPLIFY: Double the reach to skyrocket Revenue and Engagement, but risk massive Polarization.
• PUBLISH: Let the content flow normally.
• FLAG: Send to the Safety Team to boost Trust, costing you time and money.
• DELETE: Remove the content entirely to save Mental Health, but lose user Engagement.

THE GOAL Survive 5 Days:
You must manage five volatile metrics: Engagement, Revenue, Trust, Polarization, and Mental Health.

• If Revenue drops too low, you will be terminated.
• If Polarization gets too high, the platform will be shut down by the government.
