You start by looking at a lineup of four individuals—Jack, Lisa, Bethany, and Rowan—and must guess who is faking their condition. No matter who you choose, the game reveals that there is no faker. You then read through four character biographies to learn about invisible disabilities, ambulatory wheelchair use, and spectrum conditions, ending with a final takeaway message.
