Free scam safety game: spot the trap before it bites
Fictional offers fly past. Flag the traps — auto-renewals, hidden fees, fake countdowns — before the timer bites. Every answer teaches the real pattern.
How it works
- An offer appears — 'Free trial! Renews at $14.99/mo unless you cancel.'
- You call it: 🚩 TRAP or ✅ FINE — before the timer runs out.
- Right or wrong, you get the why: the real-world pattern behind each fictional offer.
What it looks for
- ['40 fictional offers across three difficulty tiers — from obvious fake timers to fine-print-level tricks', 'Honest offers mixed in, because learning what FINE looks like matters too', 'Combos, hearts, a local best score, and a shareable score card', 'Patterns: auto-renewal, drip pricing, confirmshaming, cancellation friction, fake scarcity']
Common questions

Do I need an account?No account, no download, no leaderboard servers. Your best score is stored only in your browser.
