Training against manipulation · by consented experience

See the strings.
Learn to cut them.

Manipulation works because the target never agreed to play. Here, you agree. Cross the threshold and influence tactics are run on you — inside stories — until you can feel the pull before it moves you.

The paths ahead

Six worlds. In each, someone tries to move you — and you learn to feel it.

First Week

A new job. A charming colleague. A small favor that becomes a ladder you're already climbing.

The Circle

A community that loves you a little too fast. Every thread they wrap around you feels like a gift.

The Feed

A scroll engineered to move you. Flag the tactic before it flags you.

The Broadcast

An election night. Both sides, the same machinery. Score the technique, not the team.

The Close

A room built to make you sign. Six closes. One rule walks you out whole.

Declassified

Three missions rebuilt from real, documented influence operations — disinformation, coercion, propaganda. The stakes stop being fictional.

Duolingo taught language by immersion. This is immersion in influence.

MEASURE

The baseline

Twelve scenarios map your resistance across six axes. A shareable profile in six minutes — a snapshot, not a verdict.

EXPERIENCE

Cross the threshold

Play the target inside branching, filmed stories. The tactic runs on you in real time — with your consent, at safe stakes.

DECODE

The X-Ray

After every world, the reveal: every move tagged, every mechanism named, every counter taught. You can't unsee it.

A glimpse inside · World 01

This is what a tactic looks like — before you'd have noticed.

Real scenes from First Week. Watch once now; you'll feel the pull. Play it, and you'll learn to feel it coming.

RECIPROCITY

The favor

"I already grabbed you a coffee — no big deal."

RAPPORT

The mirror

Matched posture, matched pace — closeness, manufactured.

IN-GROUP

The team

"We take care of our own here." You're already inside.

New · the challenge

Permission to scam me.

Sign the waiver and, sometime in the next 30 days, we run one social-engineering attempt on you — on a channel you approve, with no real money or credentials ever touched. Catch it and you make the Wall of the Unscammable. Miss it and you keep the debrief. The safeword is CUT THE STRINGS.

Give us permission → See the Wall

The pledge

We hope to teach you how to catch any tricks we use on you.

No countdown timers, no fake scarcity, no guilt streaks on this page — and if you ever do catch us running a play on you, congratulations: that's the curriculum working. Consider it a free bonus round.
