About & Editorial Standards

Our Mission

Sharpening Discernment in an Age of Spin

The modern media landscape is increasingly polarized. Everyday news is shaped by framing, word choice, and perspective. The Rigged Games builds free daily casual puzzles designed to test cognitive perception, news literacy, and media discernment.

We operate strictly as an independent, non-partisan educational gaming platform. We do not endorse, verify, or adopt the ideological views expressed by any syndicated news organization.

Source Attribution & Transparency

Crediting Journalistic Sources

In our headline-analysis puzzles (such as Divide & Conquer), source publisher names are temporarily concealed during active play solely to preserve the game mechanic of testing discernment.

Immediately upon round completion and within the full Results Breakdown, each headline is prominently credited with its original accredited publisher (such as Associated Press, Reuters, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, BBC, The Guardian, and syndicated wire services).

Legal Framework & Copyright

Fair Use Doctrine & DMCA Safe Harbor

All short headline excerpts and publisher names referenced on this site are used under the Fair Use Doctrine of United States Copyright Law (17 U.S.C. § 107) and equivalent international fair dealing standards, strictly for non-substitutive purposes of criticism, comment, teaching, and news literacy education.

Our puzzles do not reproduce full articles or paywalled journalistic reporting. We encourage players to read full, primary source reporting directly from the credited publications.
