Scam phone call
The caller warns that you may lose money and pressures you into making an urgent transfer.
“I’m calling from your bank. You need to move the money now.”
An intergenerational educational game
Practise decisions that help protect money and information — from a suspicious call to the use of AI. Explore everyday situations, test your reactions and learn on your own or with others.
On your phone. No installation. At your own pace.
It helps to have someone with you.Situation, decision, explanation
You practise with fictional stories. You do not make real transfers or provide bank details.
Choose a story and play on your own or invite others to join you.
Read a story about a suspicious message, call or offer and look for warning signs.
Make a decision. In a group game, everyone answers independently before discussing their choices.
Learn what may indicate a scam and how to verify a similar situation in everyday life.
Six stories to practise
A suspicious call, a request for money, a parcel message or company information in AI. Practise recognising situations that can happen to anyone.

The caller warns that you may lose money and pressures you into making an urgent transfer.
“I’m calling from your bank. You need to move the money now.”

You receive a request for a payment code. Someone may have taken over your friend’s account.
“Send me a BLIK code for the payment. I’ll pay you back in an hour.”

The link may lead to a fake website designed to steal information. This type of scam is called phishing.
“Your parcel is waiting. Pay an extra PLN 1.49.”

AI can imitate someone’s face and voice. A manipulated recording like this is a deepfake.
“I recommend this investment. Listen.”

Someone promises a high return with no risk and insists that you invest immediately.
“Guaranteed profit. Your last chance to join.”

A personal AI subscription does not mean you may use it with confidential information about your employer, clients or colleagues.
“I’ll paste the company document into my personal AI chat. It will be faster.”
For younger and older players
Practise on your own, with family and friends or during a facilitated workshop.
Choose a story and answer at your own pace. Read the explanations and return to situations you want to practise.
Two to four people play, each on their own phone. You receive different roles and information, answer independently and then look for a safe response together.
At a library, community centre or senior club, people of different ages can practise together. A facilitator helps start the game and discuss the answers.
For libraries and local organisations
We are preparing our first workshops for libraries, Universities of the Third Age, community centres and local groups. Contact us about hosting a session.

We compare anonymous group responses before the session, after the exercises and in a new scenario. The results help improve the format. We do not publish individual rankings or promise outcomes before the pilot is complete.

Before your first game
No. Tarcza opens on your phone like a normal website. Simply select “Play Tarcza”.
Yes. Practise at your own pace or play with people close to you. During a workshop, a facilitator guides the group through the stories.
Two to four people can play, each on their own phone. One person starts the game and displays a QR code for the others to scan. Everyone receives their own role and information. You answer independently, then discuss the choices and make a joint decision.
No. The stories use plain language and explain the warning signs after each decision. Different experiences help the group notice more.
Yes. One scenario explains why company, confidential or personal information should not be pasted into a personal AI subscription without organisational approval. The game encourages players to check internal policies and use approved tools only.
No. The stories are fictional. You do not make real transfers or provide bank details. A family game does not require an account or a name. The workshop form collects only the organiser’s contact details, not participant data.
That is a chance to notice something new. The game explains what may have been misleading and lets you try again. Group results reflect teamwork, not an individual ranking.
Leave your name, phone number and email address in the form. We will contact you to learn about the group and discuss the timing and terms of a pilot session. The first workshops are being prepared.
