Game Theory Interactive Lab

Game theory is not mathematics — it is the structure of choice. In this lab, you’ll see firsthand how strategies accumulate into outcomes.


1. Play the Prisoner’s Dilemma

Alternate between cooperating and defecting to watch how the cumulative score shifts. Switch the AI’s strategy and observe how the outcome patterns change.

Observation point: Tit-for-Tat is not revenge — it is reflection. Mirroring the opponent’s last move is a strategy with real power to sustain cooperation.

Q. Which strategy maximizes short-term gains, and what is the long-run result? A. Always Defect can score higher in the short run, but over time mutual cooperation breaks down and average payoffs tend to be lower.


Game theory is ultimately the language of calculating trust. Play through it once, and you’ll feel in your gut why cooperation is the most powerful long-run strategy.
