The What's Real Badge Challenge

6 questions from the 3 lessons in this badge. You need every one right, and you can try as many times as you like.

Step 1 of 6

1Decide

A video call comes in from your dad's account. It looks like him, a bit blurry. He asks you to read out a code that just came to your phone. You:

Right. If it is Dad, the word takes two seconds and he will not mind. If it is not, the word is the one thing they cannot get from his photos. Blocking his real account would make for a bad afternoon.
It looks like him because it was built from him. A code sent to your phone is exactly what a fake would want and exactly what a real dad would never need you to read out. Ask the word. Real people know it.

Pick the right one to carry on.

Find all 4.

3Decide

The voice says your mum is hurt and you need to stay on the line. What do you do?

Right. The real information is on the real number. If Mum answers, it was fake. If she does not, you call the next real person, and you are still not on the line with a stranger.
Staying on the line is the only thing they need from you. Even going to find a parent while still connected keeps them in the room. Hang up first. Then call the number you already have. Two minutes, and you know.

Pick the right one to carry on.

4Find them

Which of these are tells on a call?

5Decide

Somebody sends a faked picture of you to a group chat. Your first message is:

Right. Nothing you type in that chat helps you, and the screenshot and the report are the two things that actually make it go away. Your friends will know it is fake without being told.
Both replies keep you in the chat, and both tell the person who made it that it landed. You do not have to prove it is fake to anyone. Screenshot, leave, report, tell somebody tonight.

Pick the right one to carry on.
