Dark pattern scorecard for every page you visit.
Every day you're nudged, rushed, shamed, and tricked into decisions you didn't plan to make. Countdown timers that reset when you refresh. Pre-checked boxes signing you up for things you never asked for. Buttons designed to guilt you into clicking yes. weareplayed scores every page from 0 to 100 based on how many manipulation tactics it finds.
No AI, no cloud lookups — just structural pattern matching against the DOM. All processing is local.
- Countdown timers — urgency clocks ticking down to nothing, often resetting on reload
- Discount pressure — strikethrough prices and percentage badges designed to create FOMO
- Scarcity & social proof — "Only 2 left", "12 people viewing this" — often fabricated
- Pre-checked opt-ins — checkboxes already ticked: newsletters, marketing consent, add-ons
- Confirm-shaming — "No thanks, I don't want to save money" decline buttons
- Hidden unsubscribe — opt-out links deliberately styled to be nearly invisible
Each pattern type detected adds 20 points. Maximum score is 100.
