The World We Make

Two armed rivals meet. Their weapons remain dangerous. Can their relationship change what those weapons mean? Investigate the end of the Cold War and the campaign to ban landmines, carry records between exhibits, test an inspection protocol, and defend a coalition strategy. Compare ideas, identities and norms with material pressures and institutional incentives, then revisit your first prediction.

The Cities Are Moving

A country moves into the neighborhood. An agreement is already signed. Explain it through five international relations approaches, investigate an escort puzzle, and revise your advice as the evidence changes. Test a renewal proposal against consent, capacity, and competing interests, then take your reasoning to a new case.

The Statement

Detainees are released after a public condemnation. The government claiming credit, the families who organized, and the diplomats who negotiated tell different stories. Choose an explanation, predict what evidence would strengthen or weaken it, and open a record before a new date challenges your account. Two research articles help separate approval, punishment preferences, and actual conduct. Play For class with a saved research brief or For fun with open browsing. An optional frontier asks whether an earlier condemnation shields a government from criticism—or makes its later violation more costly. Created by Yoav Duman.

Simulation / About 36 minutes + class debrief

After You

A climate promise crosses borders. Politics decides what follows. Vela announces a stronger emissions target; in Luma, workers, businesses, and coastal residents have different stakes. Advise the government, predict its next move, and follow records that complicate the obvious story. Test competing explanations, revise your claim, and propose the evidence you would seek next. After You connects introductory international relations to current research on cooperation and domestic bargaining. Created by Yoav Duman.

World Regions Lab

Bilingual in English and Spanish (Español). A map is only the beginning. Find your bearings, read evidence, and build the skills to ask bigger questions in social science and the humanities. Each geography level offers a learning guide and varied practice questions. Follow stories about borders, inequality, gender, and belonging, or compare countries with real data. Keep your discoveries to print or bring to class.

Flags & Ferries

A flag on a pier. A ferry full of people. An ally with a price. In Flags & Ferries, you lead a small coastal state through tense choices about power, protection, and promises. Discover classical realism and structural neorealism through action while learning to read capability data and test explanations. Ten chapters. About 50–60 minutes. No prior knowledge needed. Your choices become a record you can revisit.

The Square - A Collective Action Game

Twenty citizens want the same reform. Will enough of them act? Play Citizen B1 in four rehearsals of a collective decision, forecast the other nineteen citizens, and weigh personal payoffs against a shared goal. Compare local communication, a national coordination proposal, and participant-only incentives. Each reveal exposes pivotality and the programmed intervention effect with conditions held fixed. Explain the mechanisms in a printable or downloadable reasoning record. Created by Yoav Duman.

The Evidence Lab: Everyday Mysteries, Better Questions

A good story is only the beginning. Investigate a suspicious café claim, an accused navigation app, and a final battery-saver headline. Compare rival explanations, request evidence that separates them, and defend what the records support. Core teaches fair comparisons and event order; Full also asks students to design their own mystery and investigate public power. First checked responses, later revisions, and opened hints remain visible in a printable reasoning record. Created by Yoav Duman.
