The Game
What would you do?
My research is about animals making cooperative decisions with real stakes. Every probability in these games comes from a published study, sourced on each game's Learn more page. What would you do if you were in their shoes?
You are a vampire bat.
Three nights without blood will kill you. Groom, share, and build the bonds that decide whether anyone saves you when your luck runs out.
Play Service · endless clientsYou are a cleaner fish.
Eat parasites and massage your regulars, or bite the tasty mucus while the whole reef watches. Regulars remember. Predators are clients too.
Play A lifetime · ~2–5 weeksYou are a honeybee worker.
Nurse safely, forage dangerously, or gamble your eggs past the police that eat 98% of them. You get one short life. Spend it well.

Compare within a species; a bat-night and a fish-client aren't the same currency. Sources: vampire bat · cleaner fish · honeybee.
