Spot it

Read a tactic, or practise ten examples. Each one starts with something that looks real. No score, no timer.

Practise 10

Learn

• Anchoring

  The first number you see sets what 'cheap' or 'a lot' feels like.

• Scarcity and urgency

  Things feel more valuable when they seem to be running out, and urgency cuts your thinking time.

• Social proof

  When you're unsure, what other people seem to be doing feels like the right answer.

• Framing

  The same facts feel different depending on the words and the angle chosen.

• Fear appeals

  A vivid threat grabs your attention and pushes you to act before you weigh the evidence.

• False authority / "scientists say"

  A title, a white coat or 'studies show' borrows trust the claim hasn't earned.

• Whataboutism

  Answering a criticism with 'but what about you/them?' so the original point never gets discussed.

• False equivalence

  Treating two things as equal (equally bad, equally likely, equally supported) when they aren't.
