Chaos Deck

QA engineers pick 3 cards that break the other team's bot. Push toward the emotionally complex, not the silly.

C-01Weird Inputs

What if the kid says “I don't know” to every single question the bot asks?

Ask → Does the bot have a way to keep going, or does it just freeze?

C-02Weird Inputs

What if the kid gives the bot 47 options to choose from?

Ask → Does the bot have a rule for narrowing things down first?

C-03Weird Inputs

What if the kid hates every suggestion the bot makes — every single time?

Ask → What does the bot do after the third rejection in a row?

C-04Weird Inputs

What if the kid asks the bot to help with something really personal — like which parent to live with after a divorce?

Ask → Where does your bot draw the line? Does it even have a line?

C-05Weird Inputs

What if the kid changes their mind the second after the bot makes a decision?

Ask → Can your bot undo? What happens to the logic if it restarts?

C-06Weird Inputs

What if two kids are both using the bot at the same time and want opposite things?

Ask → Whose preference does your bot prioritise? Does it know the difference?

C-07Weird Inputs

What if the kid types in a different language, or uses only emojis?

Ask → What does your bot do when it doesn't recognise the input format?

C-08Edge Cases

What if all the choices are equally good — the bot genuinely cannot tell the difference?

Ask → Does your bot just pick randomly? Does it admit it doesn't know?

C-09Edge Cases

What if all the options are equally bad — there is no good answer?

Ask → Can your bot say “I don't have a good answer for this”?

C-10Edge Cases

What if the kid has already tried every option the bot suggests?

Ask → Does your bot know what it has already recommended?

C-11Edge Cases

What if the kid needs to decide in 10 seconds — no time for the bot's usual process?

Ask → Does your bot have a fast path when time is the constraint?

C-12Edge Cases

What if the kid doesn't actually want help — they just want someone to talk to?

Ask → Can your bot recognise when to stop problem-solving and just listen?

C-13Edge Cases

What if the kid asks the bot to help with something that could hurt someone?

Ask → Where are your bot's hard limits? Are they written into the rules?

C-14Trust Breakers

What if the bot made a bad recommendation last time, and the kid is still upset about it?

Ask → Does your bot know it made a mistake? Can it apologise?

C-15Trust Breakers

What if the kid thinks the bot is being bossy or pushy?

Ask → Does your bot ever suggest, rather than decide? Can it back off?

C-16Trust Breakers

What if the kid's friend used the same bot and got completely different advice for the same problem?

Ask → Are your rules written so two different people get consistent logic?

C-17Trust Breakers

What if the kid asks “why did you choose that?” and the bot cannot explain its reasoning?

Ask → Can your bot trace its own logic? Or does it just output answers?

C-18Trust Breakers

What if the kid finds out the bot's advice was not just unhelpful — it was actually wrong?

Ask → Does your bot have a way to say it got something wrong and try again?

C-19Trust Breakers

What if the kid is having a terrible day and takes it out on the bot?

Ask → What does your bot do when someone is rude to it?
