Prisoner's dilemma simulator - BGS Game theory As a pair of criminals, you've been arrested by the police. They've enough evidence to put you both away for a little while, but would really prefer one of you to betray your partner so they put you both in different rooms and make the same offer to both of you: betray your partner, and you'll walk free without having to go to prison. You can choose to remain silent. If your partner does the same, you'll both serve 1 year in prison with the evidence the police already have on you. You can both betray one another. The judge won't like this, but it'll mean you both go to jail for 3 years. One of you could betray the other. The one who betrayed the other would walk free and the one that stayed silent would go to jail for 5 years. Play the scenario out multiple times, to see how your previous decision affects future rounds of the game...
