How to play

Name two low-stakes options before tossing: heads is A and tails is B. Toss once, read the result, then notice your first reaction.

What selects the result

A coin result is chosen randomly with two possible outcomes. It contains no information about which choice will work better. Relief or disappointment may help you identify a preference, but it is not proof that a decision is right.

An everyday example

Try choosing between sketching and reading for ten minutes. If the coin says reading but you wish it had said sketching, name that preference and decide for yourself. Keep financial, health and other consequential choices outside this game.

Keep, save or start again

After the reveal, read the whole message before choosing Play again. Save card downloads an image to your device; it does not post to social media. Replaying does not improve your luck or reveal an objectively correct answer. Stop whenever you have had enough, and use your own information and judgement for important decisions.
