About This Template
TrustTrap is a dilemma-driven behavioural game inspired by economic and communication conflicts where participants must balance trust, cooperation, ethics, and self-interest. The exercise reveals how communication gaps, incentives, and behavioural choices influence relationships and outcomes. TrustTrap is highly effective for leadership, ethics, sales, finance, and collaboration-focused learning programs.

How It Works
Create Trust-Based Dilemma
Design a realistic situation where participants choose between individual benefit and collective success while managing uncertainty, communication, and interpersonal trust.
Define Available Choices
Configure the decisions each participant can independently make, ensuring every option creates meaningful consequences for both individuals and the wider group.
Configure Trust Consequences
Determine how cooperation, conflict, communication gaps, and self-interest influence outcomes. Assign scores that reflect behavioural choices rather than purely financial results.
Reflect on Behavioural Outcomes
