Misinformation spreads faster than the truth — and RECHECK puts you on the front line.
You join Herakle, an ordinary Georgian navigating an extraordinary landscape of all fake news, manipulated narratives, and digital deception. Together, you'll travel across the regions of Georgia, each stop presenting a new challenge, a new lie to unravel, a new truth to uncover.
"In a world flooded with information, the rarest skill is knowing what to believe."
RECHECK was born at the Media Literacy Hackathon at DataFest Tbilisi — a competition designed to tackle one of the defining challenges of our generation. It didn't just compete. It won.

Built in a hackathon. Fueled by the belief that an informed society is a stronger one.
Official platform hosted by the Media and Information Literacy Lab
Every day, billions of pieces of content are shared online.
A fraction is verified. Most isn't.
RECHECK teaches you to tell the difference.
In an era of deepfakes, coordinated disinformation, and algorithmic echo chambers, the ability to critically evaluate information isn't just a skill — it's a form of civic defense. RECHECK makes that defense accessible, one Georgian region at a time.
