More about this game
Jones Way: Spot the Faker? is an educational interactive story that challenges assumptions about invisible disabilities. You start by picking one of four people—Jack, Lisa, Bethany, or Rowan—from a lineup. The game then reveals that there is no faker, explaining that disabilities do not always have a specific look. You read through four short stories to learn about their specific lives, such as legal blindness or ambulatory wheelchair use. The run ends with a social media post summarizing the core lesson.
Tips
- Read the takeaway at the bottom of each person's story card to understand the core lesson, like how wheelchair use is not all-or-nothing.
- You can use the back button or the four numbered tabs at the top of the screen to review a story you missed.
- There is no wrong choice at the start; picking Jack, Lisa, Bethany, or Rowan all lead to the exact same educational reveal screen.
