Sunk cost fallacy
Bias Lab · Roleplay

You paid for the night. Must you stay?

You and Lee spent more than usual on concert tickets. The sound is poor, you are both tired, and the last easy train leaves soon—but walking out feels like wasting the money. Lee wants to stay until the end.

Your role

You, deciding whether to stay or leave

Objective

Separate what has already been spent from what the next two hours will cost and deliver.

Make the call with Lee

Choose the next two hours

What do you do with the rest of the night?

There is no preferred outcome. Your investigation and decision process are what will be evaluated.
