As a secret agent, embark on missions around the globe and play various spy-themed mini-games, all while learning how to identify and avoid real-life financial scams.
Deepcover was developed as part of the Deception Awareness and Resilience Training (DART) platform created by the University at Buffalo Center for Information Integrity (CII). Its goal is to educate older adults who are especially vulnerable to scams. Adaptive difficulty settings and bite-sized informational videos ensure that anyone can have fun playing and learning.
