Ask HN: Teaching life skills through games, am I crazy?

you can't learn to swim without water. most life skills are the same but there's no safe place to practice before you're actually in the situation questly puts you in interactive simulations. say you're learning negotiation. you get a job offer at 95k from your dream company, ready to just say yes. a mentor character stops you and asks you what's your walkaway number? you're like wdym, it's my dream company but that question alone changes how you think. you pick right choice, it tells you why it's right, wrong choice, it tells you what went wrong and you practice that part again through the gameplay. same skill across different situations until it becomes your normal we have 21 active deep research users. a 14 year old with ADHD came back at 3:41 AM for more. a clinical psychologist with 20 years of practice said "this is everybody." a user with OCD said it helped her calm down. but here's where i need more feedback does "games" as framing put adults off even when the experience doesn't feel like one? going to YC startup school tomorrow, what's the obvious thing i'm missing? would love to hear from you guys
