Counterfactual
A real policy decision, four alternative trajectories of what might have happened instead. You pick the most plausible. We reveal the modal view among economists who have written on the episode, walk through why, and flag where reasonable people still disagree. Six rounds. Counterfactuals are inherently contested — this is a game about plausibility, not certainty.
How it works
- 1. Read the event and context for a real policy episode.
- 2. Pick the most plausible counterfactual trajectory from four one-paragraph options.
- 3. See the consensus answer with a defence and a humility note on where the debate is open.
- 4. Six rounds, drawn from a pool of twelve cases. Personal best saves locally.
