Text feedback during gameplay.

Rumor number	Textual feedback (explanation and education) of scenario options during gameplay
Ra1	Drinking water does not help, and scalding the mucous membrane of the mouth with hot water can increase the risk of infection.
R2	There is no evidence that COVID-19 can be transmitted to domesticated dogs and cats.
R3	Masks that have been used many times do not work to isolate droplets.
—b	Graphic feedback: follow the 3 steps (regulations) to wear the mask correctly.
R4	Ginger does not work to prevent the COVID-19.
R5	This is a rumor. There are no military aircraft to spread disinfectants in the sky; in addition, the local government has no right to do that. (This raises the players’ sense of alertness and achieves the purpose of public education.)
R6	COVID-19 is spread via droplets and contact, and close contact increases the risk of infection.
R7	This is a rumor. The virus is transmitted through bodily fluids, droplets, and aerosols, not through the eyes. (This re-explains the mode of transmission of the COVID-19 virus.)
R8	Clearly inform that this is not yet clear information and should not be followed blindly.
R9	This is true. You should do that. (This provides possible contact transmission and health information on sterilization.)
R10	Dizziness and other symptoms can occur if you are exposed to bath bombs for too long or take a hot bath for too long.
R11	COVID-19 only infects mammals. Fish do not transmit COVID-19.

^aR: rumor.
