We know how!

We’re not just running a server—we’re running a lab. Our in-house dev team builds custom plugins, manages technical operations, and creates fully controlled environments for research. We handle everything from participant recruitment to telemetry collection, so you can focus on the science.

Rich data

Every trial delivers structured datasets: demographics, heatmaps, movement logs, resource flow, and player interaction patterns. We design experiments to isolate variables, making our virtual worlds ideal for studying human cooperation under different conditions at scale.

Sponsor Us

Our flagship experiment is underway, and sponsorships help fund its development while giving researchers access to additional data and insights. After this study concludes, sponsors will also be able to commission custom trials—defining variables, participant cohorts, and mechanics—while we manage every technical and operational detail. We rely on research funding, not ads or monetization, to keep data unbiased and meaningful.
