This journalist turned the Strait of Hormuz crisis into a newsgame because articles don't cut it. Jakub Gornicki created a browser game, BOTTLENECK, simulating the impact of the 2026 Operation Epic Fury-induced closure of the Strait of Hormuz, highlighting the difficulty of grasping the scale of the crisis through traditional reporting. The game aims to provide a more intuitive understanding of the situation by visualizing the queue of ships and the challenges of maritime coordination.
