Each unit is followed up with quizzes to assess the amount of materials you covered and measure your newfound respect for the culture.

RealityReality

Developer: Alex Gurany, Ruri Lee, Kameron Oser, Danna Ortiz, Lane Pertusi, and Stephen Zhang
Location: United States

Summary: Reality is an iPad game that puts you in the shoes of a freelance journalist in a culturally and politically diverse city. Use time and money wisely to talk to sources for a complete story and then try to sell that story to one of the city’s newspapers. The rewards are also balanced; increased popularity and money can come at the cost of a more divisive and intolerant society.

Status: This game is currently in development.
