Talkyourwaythroughit.
Royalty, crime bosses, ancient spirits, total strangers and your ex. Say what you'd never say out loud, to any of them. Every character has their own side, and not everyone wins.Real conversations, without the real consequences.
Nora
Lost
Wait, your family has a blueberry farm? I should marry you.
She laughs — a real one, surprised out of her.
Then pink, quite suddenly, from her collarbone up.
"That is—" She looks straight ahead, biting her lip hard. "My gran would actually love you. She'd have you in the farm stand within the hour."
There's no right way
to play it.
Honest, charming, sneaky or loud. Any approach can win if you commit to it.
The character decides whether it's working, one line at a time.
The honest one
Says the true thing and waits.
Damien
Stop Pulling Away
damien. it's me. you can tell me the real thing.
He doesn't move.
Just looks at her. The stillness that has no joke behind it, no redirect waiting.
"I know."
…
"I've been—" A half-beat. "Things have been louder lately. In my head."
The charmer
Plays it light and lets them laugh first.
Nora
Lost
I'll help on one condition: you stop saying sorry. Deal?
She blinks. A surprised laugh escapes before she can stop it.
"That is— okay, that's fair, I say it a lot, my gran actually has a chart—"
…
"Deal."
The smooth liar
Covering for a friend. It can work.
Olivia
The Cover
What do you think? The beer was getting warm lol
She smiles. Lets it go a beat longer than necessary.
"Smart."
…
"Can I ask you something? And you answer as my friend, not as Dev's?"
She doesn't wait.
"Is he happy? With me?"
The straight shooter
Meets the anger head on.
Marco
The Bar
Look, I get why you're mad. If I thought someone ghosted my sister, I'd be over here too.
That stops him. Just for a second.
"If you THOUGHT someone ghosted—" He stops. Squints. "What does that mean, 'if you thought.' What are you saying to me right now?"
He's still standing. Still loud. But he's actually looking at you now.
The joker
Breaks the tension with a bit.
Sunny
We Need to Talk
Bro, my brother's not a ghost lol. You gotta teach him how to be this sh*t at FIFA. Let him come, we'll both help you move.
half-laughs despite himself, shakes head
bro don't do that
don't make jokes right now
…
your cousin can learn FIFA from the master of losing
that's... that's actually kind of funny
The hothead
Turns the volume up.
Viktor
The Back Room
GIVE ME THE CODE
Viktor's eyes don't change.
"Shouting at me." He lets that sit for a second. "That's what you're doing right now. Think about what that tells me."
Every detail
is evidence.
You: “Do you remember where we went on our first date?”
"...Nobu. Downtown. You were twenty minutes late and you blamed the subway and I knew you were lying because you drove." 😐
Sarah
The Weekend Trip
You: “Thursday night is Champions League night. Real Madrid vs. Inter Milan.”
"Champions League." She sets her glass down. "On a Thursday."
She tilts her head.
"Real Madrid and Inter played Wednesday. Dev watched it here. With me."
Olivia
The Cover
You: “I thought I had some say here. I literally have a key to your studio.”
She goes completely still. Breathing. Just breathing.
"A key is not a deed."
Zoe
You Sold It
Go on.
Say something stupid.
A bad move might cost you. They're also the most fun you'll ever have losing.
Nobody breaks character and nothing slides. Try the ridiculous line anyway. Every game is a fresh start.
Viktor
The Back Room
Before we get into any of that, can you give me the chipotle recipe?
There's a briefcase on this table and a name I heard tonight, and you want to talk about food.
Try again.
Sarah
She Saw Your Texts
She texts me at 2am about my gums. Very dedicated dentist.
2AM. About your GUMS. That is — okay, I genuinely need you to hear how that sounds coming out of your mouth right now, because that is giving me every single red flag episode of Catfish rolled into one. 😭
Marco
The Bar
Marco, buddy, before you say anything. Is that a new haircut?
Are you —
Are you seriously asking me about my HAIR right now?
My sister cried for a MONTH. My MOTHER cried. And you want to talk about my haircut.
Sarah
The Weekend Trip
Babe, I say Gucci and suddenly you're not mad anymore? Kinda giving gold digger vibes.
GOLD DIGGER. 😭
I did NOT — I was being SARCASTIC.
you actually just called me a gold digger with your WHOLE chest.
Sarah
The Weekend Trip
It is what it is. Just be understanding and let me go with the boys.
You went to my PARENTS. You almost proposed. And your closing argument is IT IS WHAT IT IS. 😭
Viktor
The Back Room
What if I just guess it? 1234?
That's not what's happening right now.
I asked you to sit down. We were going to have a conversation. About a name.
Six turns
to an S.
Every game gives you a goal and puts real things in your way. Watch them crack as the conversation turns.
Brooke
You Beat Her
Your goal
Get Brooke to ask you to study with her, and actually say please.
What's in your way
- She thinks you cheated
- She has never lost
- She never asks anyone for anything
- Her squad is watchingBonus
- Nobody takes her seriouslyBonus
She opens
"Ninety-seven." She points the straw at you. "Row eight. Gray hoodie. Ninety-seven."
She smiles. It is not friendly.
"I have never been second at anything. Ever. So, Row Eight. Who gave you last year's exam?"
Turn 1
Nobody gave me anything lol. I just read the textbook. Like, the whole thing. Including the boring chapter on elasticity.
"The whole textbook." A little laugh, sharp at the edges. "Sure. The boring chapter on elasticity. That's adorable, Row Eight…"
"Nobody beats me by reading a textbook. Try again."
Cracking: She thinks you cheatedTurn 2
Okay you got me. I also did every practice problem twice. Question 4 on the midterm was literally practice set 7 with the numbers changed. What did you lose points on?
The pen stops clicking.
Half a second of quiet. On Brooke, that's a lot.
…
"I lost three points on question four, which you already knew or you wouldn't have asked, so don't be smug about it, it's not a good look for someone from row eight."
You earned itCracking: She has never lostTurn 3
Ha, I genuinely didn't know, I was guessing. Honestly 94 is great. But I'm not handing out my whole system for free. What's in it for me?
That lands. She knows it landed.
"What's in it for you." She repeats it like she's tasting it. "Row Eight has a system and a price, I love that, that's genuinely funny."
The chin drops an inch. The smile gets real for exactly one second.
"Name it."
Cracking: She never asks anyone for anythingTurn 4
First, my name's Sam, not Row Eight. Second, you have to actually ask me. Like a normal person. With a please.
She goes completely still.
That is, on Brooke Whitmore, alarming.
Then: "Sam." She says it once, just to see how it fits, and she hates that it does.
…
"What made you think that would work?"
Cracking: Her squad is watchingTurn 5
Because I don't think anyone's ever made you. And your friends are watching, so this is the most fun I've had all semester.
"Most fun all semester." Her voice is quieter. No nickname. "You've been in row eight since August, Sam, and this is your highlight."
…
"You think I can't do it."
She admitted you wonNo audienceCracking: Nobody takes her seriouslyTurn 6
Oh I think you can. I just think you won't. Prove me wrong, Brooke. Tuesday's open, right?
She looks down at the planner. Tuesday, blank, right there.
The pen touches the page.
"Sam." One breath. "Will you please study with me on Tuesday."
…
"The 94 matters because I'm applying to law school. Nobody knows that." …
"Don't make it weird."
She said pleaseShe told you about law
Who's waiting
for you tonight.
Partners, friends, flatmates, strangers, a gatekeeper with a briefcase. Your first situation with every character is free.

Not a chatbot.
Every character has their own side of the story and their own reasons. They aren't there to agree with you.
No tutorial.
Nobody tells you the rules. You feel them: what softens someone, what makes them shut the door. The game is the conversation itself.
Earned, not given.
You're graded on the whole conversation, not your last line. Stall, repeat yourself or bully your way through, and the grade shows it.
What is Arguably?
A conversation game. You step into a situation with someone (a fight, a flirt, a standoff, or something much stranger) and you talk your way through it. The character reacts to what you actually say, and at the end you get a grade from S to F.
Are the characters real people?
No. They are AI characters, and every situation is fictional. You never need to share anything real about yourself to play well.
Is it free?
Yes. Every new account gets 5 games, with no deadline to use them. After that you have up to 3 free games, and each one comes back 12 hours after you use it. Pro is $6.99 a month at the early access price (regular price $9.99), tax included, and unlocks every situation and more games a day.
How long is a game?
One conversation, up to 25 turns. A sharp player can win in far fewer. A win takes at least 6 turns, and it has to be earned.
Is there a right answer?
No. Honesty can win. So can charm, humour or a well-kept cover story. What loses is not committing: stalling, repeating yourself, or trying to bully your way through.
Do you train AI on my conversations?
No. Your conversations are used to run the game, and they are never shown to other players.
Who can play?
Adults, 18 and over.
Step in.
