Throlley Problem
Throlley Problem drops you into the conductor's seat of a runaway trolley, but there's a twist: the tracks ahead are full of people, and you have to decide who stays safe. What looks like a simple lever-flipping game becomes a deeper test of how you weigh lives when there's no winning move, only better or worse ones. Each scenario asks you to look at the situation from different angles like who's on the tracks, how many are there, and what else might happen if you switch routes. The game keeps things minimal on purpose, stripping away distractions so you focus on the moment of choice. As you move forward, choices get more layered, making you think twice before you pull the lever.

What is Throlley Problem
Ready to make the tough calls? Throlley Problem puts your ethics to the test one lever at a time.
How to Play
Click or tap the lever to switch the trolley's path whenever you see a decision point. Observe the scene, then decide which track to send the trolley down before it reaches the people.
Tips for Playing
- Take a breath before you hit the lever; rushing leads to regret.
- Count everyone on both tracks first, but also think about who they might be.
- Don't ignore the background; sometimes extra details change the choice.
- Ask yourself if flipping the lever actually saves more lives or just shifts the problem.
- If you're stuck, consider what you'd want someone else to do in your place.
