How to play

Read the offer. Price and price history, delivery and fees, timer and stock, reviews.
Tag it. Real deal or fake deal. A visible delivery fee or a sale with a real end date can be honest.
Name the tricks. For a fake, tap every row with a trick: inflated original, hidden fee, fake urgency, fake reviews.
Score. 1 point for the right tag and 1 for each trick found. A row marked by mistake takes one back. Every offer is explained.

Quick tips

Check the price history. A discount only counts if the "before" price was charged for a while.
Look at the total. Handling, service and resort fees can wipe out a discount. Compare final prices.
Ignore the countdown. A timer that resets, or "only 1 left" for weeks, is pressure, not information.
Read the bad reviews. Real products have some complaints. A wall of perfect, identical praise is a warning sign.
Big can be real. Clearance and last year's models can be genuinely cheap. Check, don't assume.
