Oxfam Game Calls Attention to Global Poverty

Random Culture points to a site called bit unfair, a gameshow-style site created for Oxfam to call attention to the unfair treatment of the poor in the world. In the game, if you label yourself rich, you always win. If you label yourself poor, you always lose. At the end of the game, you are told, “if you give a damn, give us your name.” The site’s not asking for money but simply trying to gather a collective voice they can take to the world’s governments asking them to “change their policies towards people in extreme poverty.” Draft London did the work.
