Thumbnail Click

Thumby has clicked one shocked face too many. Every round shows a lesson title and a row of thumbnails: only one is honest about the topic and the length. Pick it fast. An arcade break that trains the habit of judging a video before the click.

Thumbnail Click

A lesson title, a row of thumbnails. Only one of them is honest about what you will learn. Click it before the timer runs out.

  1. Read the title. Each round shows the title of a lesson, with its length.
  2. Pick the honest one. Tap the thumbnail that matches the topic and the length. Shouting, wrong topics and impossible promises are clickbait.
  3. Be quick. The faster you pick, the bigger the bonus. A wrong pick or a timeout costs a life.
  4. Clear 12. 3 levels of 4 rounds. Level 3 adds a fourth thumbnail and subtler fakes.

Quick tips

  • Check the badge. A 5-minute lesson cannot be 2 hours long. The length badge catches many fakes at a glance.
  • Read the promise. "Master it in 10 seconds" and "never again" are promises no lesson keeps.
