Propagandle is a daily trivia game about conspiracies and cover-ups. Each day's briefing mixes real episodes from the historical record with plausible inventions, and you score by spotting which is which, ordering events and naming the subject of a secret file.

About Propagandle

Propagandle is styled as an intelligence briefing. Each day opens a numbered file of five rounds, and most of them ask one question: did this really happen? In a real or fabricated round you read two short case summaries, one taken from the record and one written for the game, and pick the one that actually took place. Some days feature a classify round instead, where you decide whether a claim was proven, debunked or is still unsettled.

The later rounds change the task. A sequence round gives you a handful of real events, such as defections and spy scandals from one period, and asks you to put them in order from earliest to latest. The closing dossier round unseals clues one at a time about a single subject; naming it by the third clue scores two points and by the fifth scores one.

The site says its real cases come from declassified documents, FOIA releases, investigative reporting and official archives, while the invented ones are written to be odd enough that nobody leaves misinformed. There are no accounts; streaks are kept for your browser, and an archive lets you replay past briefings. It suits readers of Cold War history, intelligence stories and odd footnotes who like trivia that rewards a sceptical eye.

How to play Propagandle

  1. Open the site and start the day's briefing.
  2. In each real or fabricated round, read both case summaries and pick the one that happened.
  3. In the sequence round, drag the events into order with the earliest first, then submit.
  4. In the dossier round, unseal clues one by one and name the subject as early as you dare.
  5. Read the debrief at the end, then come back tomorrow for the next file.

Tips

  • Specific programme names and tidy outcomes can be a sign of an invention; real cases tend to be messier.
  • In the dossier round, guessing by the third clue doubles your points, so commit once a clue narrows it to one subject.
  • For sequence rounds, anchor the order on the one event whose date you know well and place the rest around it.

Questions

Is Propagandle free?

Yes. It runs in the browser with no account and no charge.

Are the conspiracies real?

Some are and some are not. The real ones come from documents, investigations and admissions; the invented ones are written for the game, and the debrief tells you which was which.

When does a new briefing arrive?

Once a day. The site does not state the time.

Can I play past days?

Yes. The case file archive lists earlier briefings to replay.
