Stone Finder
A colorful newsroom game where young reporters interview fictional sources, fight misinformation villains, collect badges, and learn when a story is ready to publish.
Quick tutorial
Your first mission starts here.
Choose a difficulty, press Start case, then interview characters in the newsroom. The game is about verification: find what is true, label what is weak, and resist the viral shortcut.
Look for documents, witness limits, and independent confirmation. The notebook tracks your trail.
When a viral claim appears, slow down. Mark unsupported claims as hold before they damage the story.
Use the publish decision button only when your difficulty requirements are met.
Earn enough confirmed facts and held-rumor notes for your chosen difficulty, then make a publish decision.
Start with: What did you directly see? What document proves it? Who else can verify this?
No. Stone Finder is a fictional media-literacy game. Characters and claims are invented.
