Propaganda refers to the methods and messaging used by individuals or movements to manipulate public opinion and behavior in their favor. Learning to recognize when something is propaganda and is trying to elict a certain response from you is important.

Someone has broken into the Brick Store Museum and has hid the artwork from our collections! The only way to recover the missing artwork is to correctly answer facts about propaganda and identify when it is being used. Can you help us?
