One of the strategies to combat the fake news problem is to train people to identify this kind of news. Although there are initiatives where such training is supported by digital educational games (DEG), the DEG used do not have portuguese-written news. To fill this gap, this article presents JEDi, a JED that trains students to identify intentionally disseminated, portuguese-written false news. JEDi takes place on a board to be traversed by the players as they discern between true and false news. The winner is the player that reaches the board's end first. The idea is that, as they play several times, players develop the ability to recognize fake news. By storing the players' individual results, JEDi allows analyzing, with data mining techniques, each player's longitudinal performance and, therefore, its effectiveness in false news recognition training. This paper reports the use of JEDi in a case study with high school and another with undergraduate students. Quantitative and qualitative results obtained in both studies point to JEDi's effectiveness as a fake news detection training instrument.
