Social Chemistry Kit

Each experiment here is lightweight, open-ended, and remixable—designed to reveal something interesting about how we read each other, respond, and communicate.

This isn't a dating product. It's a curiosity engine—a place to test ideas about connection, friction, humor, vulnerability, and digital social behavior.

Small Talk Escape Room

An interactive game that teaches you to navigate from weather chat to real conversation. Each choice branches the dialogue—some paths lead deeper, others loop back to "nice weather, huh?"
