Switchpoint

Work through a series of moral dilemmas, watch which ethical framework each choice reflects, and get called out when two equivalent situations expose a contradiction.

How to play

Each dilemma offers a few choices. Pick one and the game reveals the ethical frameworks behind it. When a later choice contradicts an earlier one in an equivalent situation, a consistency challenge invites you to reconcile or accept the tension.

• Read the scenario and choose how to resolve it.
• See which frameworks — and the rationale — your choice maps to.
• Face consistency challenges and either revise your answer or stand behind the tension.
• Finish to get an ethical profile showing your dominant framework and how consistent you were.

Tips & strategy

• There's no single right answer — aim for choices you can genuinely stand behind across equivalent cases.
• When a consistency challenge appears, decide whether your principle or your gut should win, and apply it consistently.
