Inside the game
The answer weights below are the rules used by this game. Add the points from your chosen options; the outcome with the highest total wins. These points express our game design, not a measurement of you or anyone else.
When outcomes tie, a repeatable calculation chooses between them. Names can affect that tie-break; they do not reveal private information. Percentages, initials, ages and dates in outcome titles are authored parts of the story, not calculated probabilities or forecasts.
You can read every outcome before playing. Compare a theme with a real example from your life, and keep any part that gives you a useful question.
Your fictional shop sees potential in things that almost work. Customers return for practical care and the satisfaction of keeping a useful object in the story.
A prompt to try: Learn a safe, simple repair before replacing something.
Your shop offers context along with its shelves. The memorable detail is a recommendation that reflects the person asking rather than whatever is most popular.
A prompt to try: Write a short recommendation for a specific reader.
Your shop lets visitors see how an idea takes shape. Small variations become part of its appeal because the work carries evidence of human choices.
A prompt to try: Make two versions of the same simple design.
Your shop becomes a meeting place as much as a destination. Its strongest feature is a reason for people to return and recognize each other.
A prompt to try: Plan a welcoming activity with an easy entry point.
A practical way to turn quiz results into warm group conversations while respecting privacy, boundaries, and different comfort levels.
