Horizon Truth is a gamified digital platform that helps young people and online users build digital literacy skills and detect false or misleading information. It combines interactive learning, real-world content scenarios, and AI-assisted verification tools to train users to think critically, verify sources, and report suspicious content. The platform is designed to be accessible, multilingual, and suitable for low-bandwidth environments.

Our mission is to empower young people and communities to become informed and responsible digital citizens by strengthening digital literacy, critical thinking, and misinformation detection skills through accessible technology and interactive learning.

False and misleading information spreads rapidly through digital and social media, especially among young users who often lack practical digital literacy and verification skills. This leads to harmful decisions, social tension, and reduced trust in credible information sources. Existing solutions focus mostly on content removal rather than prevention through user education and early detection skills.

The solution is an AI-assisted, gamified digital literacy and misinformation detection platform that teaches users how to identify, verify, and respond to false information. It uses scenario-based challenges, quizzes, and simulated social media content to build critical thinking skills. A crowdsourced reporting and trust scoring feature helps communities flag and review suspicious content while learning from verified examples.
