Design risks

| R2 | Monetization | 0.13 | |
| R3 | Social risk | 0.56 | |
The primary risks in TellMeWhoIAm Science Leaders stem from its social features, which encourage competition and social comparison through leaderboards and score sharing on social media. This could potentially lead to feelings of inadequacy or pressure. While the game is explicitly child-targeted, it lacks manipulative compulsion-loop mechanics or monetization pressures, focusing instead on educational engagement. Privacy risks are present due to sharing scores on public platforms.

Regulatory design checks · DSA — Assessed: concerns noted·GDPR-K — Assessed: concerns noted·ODDS — Assessed: meets criteria
- DSA:What Ludograph checks: whether the game's design gives minors the transparency the EU Digital Services Act expects: plain terms, honest defaults, and clear reporting routes.: Estimated from review data. Likely violations: monetisation that deliberately targets children.
- GDPR-K:What Ludograph checks: whether age assurance and consent flows are designed for under-16s, in the spirit of GDPR Article 8.: Estimated from review data. Likely violations: elevated privacy risk in a children-rated or child-targeted game; profiling or targeting of children for marketing.
- ODDS:What Ludograph checks: whether paid random-reward drop rates are disclosed, as required in China, Japan and South Korea.: Estimated from review data. No paid random-reward mechanics found, so drop-rate disclosure requirements do not apply.
These reflect Ludograph's assessment of the game's design practices against each framework's criteria, not a legal compliance determination.
