About PLAYED

PLAYED is a nonpartisan platform designed to educate users about the manipulative techniques employed in political advertising. It operates like a video game, where you engage with a diverse selection of TV ads, ranging from current to historical. The platform is regularly updated, especially during election seasons, to include the latest and most emotionally charged ads, many of which might not be broadcast in your area. This gives you a unique chance to see and analyze ads that might otherwise be off your radar.

Research indicates that voters often make decisions based on emotion rather than logic, regardless of their educational background. PLAYED aims to lift the curtain on these emotional manipulations, presenting them in a fun, experiential, and entertaining manner. The ultimate goal is to encourage informed voting without falling prey to the tricks embedded in political ads.

So, engage with PLAYED, spot the tricks, and ensure that when you cast your vote, you do so with full awareness and not because you've been played.
