Fun and Challenging Philosophy Games

This is a website created by the The Philosophy Magazine (TPM) and along articles on philosophical topics, it also has a section that contains 10 interactive games covering subjects as diverse as Ethics and Morality, Logic, Science and Religion. There is even a game entitled Shakespeare vs Brittany Spears. The most interesting games are the “Morality Play” and “So You Think You’re Logical”. In the former the participant answers a number of ethical and moral questions and when an answer violates the ethical consistency you have established by prior answers, the computer lets you know. At the end of the game, the computer gives you an analysis of your moral position and explains where your inconsistencies lie.

The Logic game is a set of four questions on which you test your reasoning ability. When you finish, you receive a report on how you did individually and in comparison with everyone else who has played. The computer also explains the correct answers when you finish playing.
