Our take on The Trolley Solution
Its defining structure is a one-to-one pairing between 20 trolley-problem variations and 20 point-and-click minigames, with the original dilemma included alongside them.
What is The Trolley Solution?
The Trolley Solution is a collection of point-and-click minigames built around the trolley problem, a philosophical thought experiment first proposed by Philippa Foot in 1967.
It presents 20 variations of the dilemma, along with the original scenario, and pairs each variation with a corresponding minigame. Players make their way through humorous interpretations of the thought experiment while testing their gaming skills. The game frames its philosophical subject as a series of interactive challenges rather than a conventional lesson or story. Its structure centers on unlocking and playing the set of minigames connected to the different trolley scenarios.
