Controversy: Turn Fights Into Friends

In Controversy, players debate and predict each other's opinions on 200 statements across four increasingly provocative levels: Disagreements, Arguments, Controversies, and Bridge Burners.

The game includes two modes. In Hot Seat, one player reads a controversy while the other players secretly choose Agree or Disagree. The Hot Seat player predicts their responses, earning a point for a correct prediction. After an incorrect prediction, the player has 60 seconds to try to persuade that person to change their position and earn the point.

In Debate mode, a moderator draws a controversy and assigns two players opposing sides. Each player has one minute to prepare and one minute to argue their assigned position, regardless of whether they personally agree with it. The other players vote for the stronger argument.
