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.

Dark patterns as a name needs work anymore, but I like the general premise of this and think it could be cool for people learning this stuff for the first time. Good work conceptually.

I believe the general consensus is now to call them “deceptive patterns”.
