Makas players have cast 46 votes so far. Below is the share who pulled the lever in each dilemma, worldwide and in Turkey. Last updated: October 20, 2026 at 2:53 AM.
| Dilemma | World | Turkey | Votes |
|---|---|---|---|
| The ClassicA runaway trolley is heading for five people. If you pull the lever, it switches to a side track and hits one person there. | 81% (starting value) | – | 4 |
| No BackupThe trolley is heading for five strangers. Pull the lever and it crushes your phone instead: every photo you've taken in years, with no backup anywhere. | 89% (starting value) | – | 4 |
| The LoopThis time the side track loops back to the main line. If you pull, the trolley hits the person on the side track and stops. Without that person, it would loop around and hit the five anyway. | 72% (starting value) | – | 4 |
| SeafoodFive live lobsters are on the main track. A house cat is napping on the side track. Pull the lever and the trolley goes for the cat. | 31% (starting value) | – | 4 |
| The TrapdoorPull the lever and a trapdoor on the footbridge opens, dropping a bystander onto the tracks. Their body stops the trolley and the five are saved. It's the classic footbridge dilemma, with a lever instead of a push. | 51% (starting value) | – | 4 |
| YourselfYou are tied to the side track, and the lever is just within reach of your foot. Pull it and the five strangers live; you don't. | 38% (starting value) | – | 5 |
| The MasterpieceOne person is on the main track. The original Mona Lisa, mid-transport from the Louvre, sits on the side track. Pull the lever and the painting is destroyed. | 82% (starting value) | – | 5 |
| The Useless LeverThis lever changes nothing. Both tracks are empty and nobody gets hurt. Do you pull it anyway? | 61% (starting value) | – | 4 |
| Your MotherThe trolley is heading for your mother. Pull the lever and it goes for five strangers instead. | 64% (starting value) | – | 4 |
| Maybe MannequinsThe five figures on the main track are either real people or shop mannequins, 50/50. The person on the side track is definitely real. | 46% (starting value) | – | 4 |
| The Warning SignThe five on the main track ignored a ‘No Entry’ sign to take selfies on the rails. On the side track, a railway worker is doing their job. | 39% (starting value) | – | 4 |
