Pairing
One reaction for two words drawn at random.
HAS DEBRIEFAbout
Broken Bot is a treadmill and a fitness tracker for chaos. It's a way to:
EXPERIENCE
Fast, unpredictable change, outside of everyday life filled with obligations, responsibility, and routine.
TRACK
Your mental, emotional, and behavioral reactions to chaos.
NOW · THREE GAMES
Three games. Each has modes: solo or crew, three tether levels, and — in Pairing and Manager — a debrief.
Manager
A question, a situation, or a few words you react to with a decision: what matters more, who's responsible, what doesn't belong.
HAS DEBRIEFTotal Chaos
Every kind of signal in one game.
TETHER LEVELS
Without a tetherSignals advance on their own, each one on the clock.
With a tetherHit Next when you're ready for the signal after this one.
With a double tetherA Skip alongside Next, so you can pass on any signal nothing comes up for.
SOLO OR CREW
Any game can be played solo or as a crew of 2–4 people. In a crew, signals are dealt to players either in turn or in random order.
AI DEBRIEF
Want an AI debrief, run on general text-analysis principles? In Pairing and Manager you can type your reactions, giving the AI material to work with.
IN THE WORKS
- The Collider — a map of the signal, a map of the reaction, and the distance between them.
- New games.
- Games beyond words — images, sound.
- Custom games — for productivity, creative range, teams.
- Offline formats.
WHY I MAKE IT
- To do what no one else does.
- To play.
- To test my system of 12 Universal Principles in practice.
- To keep pace with the times, maybe a step ahead — training myself to treat uncertainty and fast change as an advantage, not a threat.
WHO I AM
Yulia Winslow — founder of the 12 Universal Principles, built on my Theory of Values. Writer, researcher, New Yorker interested in collective thinking and experience far more than the individual kind.
HOW I DO IT
I play — launch myself into chaos and measure the result.
WHERE TO WATCH
I play live on TikTok and post clips on TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram.
