About
Reading about a bias changes nothing. Feeling it does.
You can know the definition of anchoring by heart and still watch your own guess get yanked toward a number you knew was meaningless. That gap — between knowing and feeling — is where this project lives.
MindGames is a growing collection of 21 short browser games. Each one puts you inside a psychological effect or a real-world dark pattern — the manipulative tricks apps and stores use against you — lets it work on you, then shows exactly what happened and how to defend against it next time.
Systematic glitches in how the mind judges, values, and decides.
Interface tricks engineered to nudge you against your own interest.
How the presence and opinions of others quietly reshape your behavior.
No accounts, no tracking, no server. Your progress lives only in this browser. Built with Astro, React, and Framer Motion; deployed on Vercel.
