Who Should Participate?

Built for Curious, Argumentative Teens

No prior debate experience required — only curiosity and a willingness to have your ideas challenged. Mind Games is perfect for:

• Teens who love arguing — and want to get much better at it

• Students interested in philosophy, law, politics, or public speaking

• Puzzle enthusiasts who want to apply that thinking to the real world

• Anyone who has been stumped by a bad argument and didn't know how to respond

• Students who want to learn how to learn more effectively

• Students who feel frustrated when they can't articulate what they know is wrong with someone's reasoning

• You do not need to be outgoing or a "natural debater." Some of our most impressive graduates are introverts who discovered that careful, written-out thinking translates beautifully into spoken argument.
