I built this educational game to help people identify and understand dark patterns in digital products. It features 10 interactive scenarios based on real-world examples.

The game includes:

• Interactive pattern recognition scenarios • Explanations of psychological principles • Simulated real-world examples with guided feedback

Built with Next.js, TypeScript, and Tailwind.

I'd especially appreciate feedback on the educational approach and scenario design.

I think your UI could use some work, funny enough. But I like the concept, it's just that the way the page and "game" works is not exactly clear.

Appreciate this! It’s clear there’s a lot of room to make things more intuitive. I’ll definitely focus on improving the clarity and flow in the next iteration.
