Your Irrational Brain science show
An exciting game show that challenges participants to outsmart their own biases and make rational decisions. Through a series of questions and tasks, this show will teach you how to better understand your own brain, spot unconscious biases and make more rational decisions.
Tricks your brain plays during decision making
Ages 16-18 | KS5 / Sixth Form
The perfect schools show for those looking to explore the science behind decision making. You’ll learn why evolution has given you a brain that often makes the wrong decision, and how businesses exploit these quirks to make us spend more money. Participants use their own devices to answer questions throughout, making this a highly interactive experience, perfect for sixth formers or older families at a festival.
