Pill or Placebo
Six health claims a day. Which ones hold up?
A game about evidence, not medical advice. Each claim is either genuinely supported by research or a myth, folk belief, or marketing line that the evidence does not back. Claims that experts are still arguing over are deliberately left out. Nothing here tells you what to take, what to stop, or what to do about your own health — for that, speak to a clinician.
Claim 1 of 6
How to play

- Real means the claim is genuinely supported by evidence.
- Placebo means it is false, or a marketing line the evidence does not support.
- The explanation follows every answer. 4 of 6 keeps a streak alive.
