Swaydar: Daily Influence Game

**One real pitch a day. Spot the persuasion levers stacked on the target, then name the *keystone* — the one lever that, removed at the moment of decision, would make the whole pitch fall apart.** Swaydar is a daily puzzle for the persuasion-aware. Every day at midnight UTC, a new real-world scenario lands on every player's phone. Sales tactics, online dark patterns, recruiting pitches, breakup speeches — the kind of moves you've seen a hundred times but never had time to label. Tap the levers you spot, then pick the keystone. The share grid encodes your decision arc spoiler-free, so you can compare with friends without giving the answer away. **The disagreement is the point.** There's rarely one clean answer. After you solve, the free result gives you the keystone and explanation. With Swaydar Pro, the deeper read shows how the keystone vote splits — and exactly where your call lands against the room. If you argued for a different lever, you probably have a case worth making. That's the conversation Swaydar is built to start. **How it works** • One puzzle a day, the same one for every player worldwide • 4 guesses to identify the stacked levers and the keystone • Spoiler-free emoji share grid • Onboarding teaches the mechanic in 60 seconds — no manual needed **Swaydar Pro adds daily depth** • **The counterfactual lattice** — for each lever in the stack, see how the pitch would read with that one piece removed, not just the keystone • **How readers vote** — the curator's read on how the keystone vote splits, and where you stand against everyone else • **Through Schopenhauer's lens** — each day's pitch read through the eristic stratagems: the named move behind the persuasion, and the counter • **Your full history** — every past day, your guesses, and the explanation behind each keystone **Privacy by construction** • No accounts, no sign-ups • No ads, no third-party SDKs, no analytics • No data collection — your progress lives on your device • Works completely offline; no network is required to play **Interface localized for 39 locales** — daily scenarios are English at launch.
