Welcome to the Crowdsourcing Mornings segment! Every weekday morning, Geek Alabama talks about and features one crowdsourcing project from crowdsourcing sites such as, Indiegogo, and others. The hope with Crowdsourcing Mornings is to feature and help a project be successful and reach its fundraising goal. Please enjoy today’s featured project!

The game we’ve been working on for all of 2025 has been developed and tested by experts, our team, and members of the Veritasium community, and is designed to help you understand how confident you are in what you know. Each question asks you to think like a scientist: weigh the evidence, assess your confidence in your reasoning, and test what you know.
We’re launching this on Kickstarter to give the entire Veritasium community an opportunity to shape the final product before we start production and ship by summer 2026.
Playing the Game
Goal: Win by scoring the most points after 10 questions.
How to Play
- Each player gets 1 whiteboard and 10 voting tokens of their color.
- The player who most recently watched a Veritasium video starts as the Question Reader.
- The role of Question Reader moves clockwise each round.
- The game lasts 10 questions.
Each Round
- The Question Reader reads a card out loud (without taking it out of the box). Starting with the player to their left, everyone places one voting token face down on the mat.
- Each chip can only be played once; if placed on the correct answer it is retained, if not it is discarded.
- Players choose which token to use based on confidence:
– High number = high confidence.
– Low number = low confidence
Scoring Each Question
- The Question Reader reveals the correct answer.
- If you were right, move your token to your scoring pile.
- If you were wrong, your token is discarded.
Game End: After 10 questions, all tokens will have been used. Players add up the numbers on their scoring piles. The player with the highest total wins!
