Two teams. One pricing decision.
- Your team and a rival sell the same product. Choose Price High (H) or Price Low (L).
- Both choices are hidden until you commit. The rival chooses using its strategy and earlier rounds; it cannot react to your current choice.
- Both High: 200 each. Both Low: 50 each. If one team prices Low while the other prices High, the Low team earns 300 and the High team earns 0.
- Review the outcome and choose Next round. Complete 12 untimed rounds, considering your earnings and the two teams’ combined total.
- Choose a practice rival before starting, or use Surprise me to keep its strategy hidden until the results.
You can pause or reopen these instructions. Switching away from the page pauses the task. The payoff table stays available during play.
Independent practice with our own rival rules. Random chooses High or Low with equal probability; Mirror starts High and copies your previous price; Switching mirrors through round 6 then chooses Low from round 7. These exact settings are not verified Arctic Shores settings.
A useful way to approach it
Read the payoff table before committing. Consider your revenue, combined revenue and the rival’s earlier choices as separate pieces of information.
Understanding your results
Review the pricing history and revealed rival strategy. Practice revenue is shown in points; these choices do not establish an official personality judgement.
