The Cranky Uncle game "uses cartoons and critical thinking to fight misinformation" It was developed by John Cook, a researcher at Monash University, Australia, based on his research about ways of countering misinformation. As it notes in Cook et al. (2022) "The game combines psychological research into active inoculation, critical-thinking work on misleading rhetorical techniques, communication research into cartoon debunking, and gamification." The game is available free on iPhone and Android, and as a browser game. The game is available in English, Dutch, German, Spanish and Portuguese.
