Today we’re playing through Be Scam Ready, a game we launched late last year with our friends at Google to help folks build scam literacy in an increasingly online world.
Joining us for today’s playthrough are Luke Jayapalan, Senior Game Designer at Filament Games and design lead on Be Scam Ready,as well as Abhishek Roy, Staff UX Researcher, Trust and Safety at Google, whose research and direction were indispensable to the creation of Be Scam Ready.
