Media Riot

Information is a weapon. Load it yourself.

Media Riot is a multiplayer role-playing serious game, played by voice, where up to six players embody competing newsrooms. Objective: impose your editorial line and influence public opinion.

A three-step loop: collect, process, broadcast. Gather information, shape it according to your angle, publish before the others — and discredit their scoops along the way.

Everything is played by voice. An audio conference is integrated into the game: debates, alliances, and dirty tricks are negotiated in real time, by voice.

A scoring system that rewards ethics as much as strategy, to learn to distinguish facts, interpret sources, and debate collectively.

Designed as a training tool, deployed among high school students, university students, and trainee journalists.

Gather information, process it according to your editorial line, broadcast it, and discredit your competitors to influence public opinion. An integrated audio conference places debates and influence strategies at the heart of the game, while a points system rewards the relevance and ethics of choices.
