Do you use 😂 or 💀 for laughter? Is 🙃 passive-aggressive or playful? This experiment maps how different groups interpret the same emoji—revealing surprising generation gaps and subcultural splits.

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?"

Tiny social challenges delivered daily. "Start a conversation with someone wearing yellow." "Give a specific compliment to a stranger." Low-stakes prompts to practice being brave.

An A/B testing ground for opening lines. Submit your best first message, see how it performs compared to others. Learn what actually breaks the ice vs. what just breaks the conversation.
