Description 

Consent Granted is an interactive game exposing how UI design can weaponize your clicks. Players are lured into a 4-question color/shape quiz by the promise of a "money prize." 

To play, you must bypass a dense user agreement. We use dark patterns—flashing "I Agree" buttons, scarcity marquees ("Only 18 left!"), and visual hierarchy manipulation—to ensure you skip the fine print. Hidden within that text is a crucial deception: the "money" is actually a plastic toy coin. 

Whether you ace the quiz or fail the timer, the result is the same. Our machine dispenses a printed card (fake money), deconstructing every psychological trick used against you. By sorting players into the "Players who Spotted the Trap" (those who spotted the trap) or the "Victim List," we turn a simple quiz into a wake-up call about how digital interfaces quietly erode true consent.
