And in that case, the liberals are right.

And so we have these questions where everybody gets to be right and everybody gets to be wrong, and not everybody answers always in keeping with their stereotypes.

But on average, people play.

They have the experience of, I know some things, and there are some things I don't know, and my partner knows some things that I don't know.

They report having higher levels of respect for the other side.

They say both liberals and conservatives can make valid points, more open to leaders who support political compromise.

And some of these effects...

We test people the next day, the next week, the next month, four months later.

Some of these effects we see lasting four months from playing the game once.

And in all the ones we've done so far, we find that when people do this even for 20 minutes, first of all, people enjoy it and we see positive effects at least immediately.

And we're starting to do work with employees at businesses.

We're starting to do work with Jews and Arabs in Israel.

We're building a game for Hindu and Muslims in India or people of Catholic and Protestant descent in Northern Ireland.

Wherever there's an us versus them kind of conflict or tension,

put people on the same team and let them have that cooperative experience.

And we are now working on bringing this out into the world.

So if you go to letstango.org, you can sign up, you can put your email in there and we'll let you know when there's a game that you can join.

And I hope we'll get to the point where we can have games going on all the time.

You know, the research suggests that this is a way to bring people together and there's no limit.

I hope that a year or two from now we'll have had millions of people have this positive experience of cooperating with people with whom they disagree politically.
