CHECK-OUT: OR HOW MALICIOUS DESIGNS TRICKS YOU WASTING YOUR TIME AND MONEY

Website, Video game, Publication

Check Out is an interactive arcade game and a publication that raises awareness, as well as teaches all internet users about the dangers of ‘Dark Patternsʼ, which are malicious forms of user experience and interface design (UX/UI design). Dark Patterns, a term coined by UX specialist Harry Brignull, exploits the power of design, knowledge of human psychology, and the audienceʼs unawareness as a manipulative marketing tactic to generate greater profit.

Visit our Check Out online game and digital publication to learn more about Dark Patterns!

We also created a guide on how to build arcade machines.
