Simulator
Each scenario is one short conversation with a fictional adult. You see the scene and what she says and does, choose what to say or do, and see how she responds. Afterward a coach explains how well you read the evidence and sized your step.
How this works
- You are scored on calibration: how well your reads and steps matched what was shown. Not on whether it ends well.
- Not every scenario is winnable. Sometimes the right call is to pause, ask, accept a no or leave warmly.
- You never see her inner state. You see what a person in the room could see.
- Pausing, checking in and leaving are always available, and are never marked as failure.
- A series is a few scenes with the same person. What she tells you in one scene carries into the next.
- Your runs stay on this device.
