ClaimCraft

Visual argument mapping game where players build claim-evidence-reasoning chains and compete in debate duels. Logical fallacies are attack moves to identify and counter. AI generates counterarguments and evaluates argument quality.

Meet your mentor

Every Spark & Anvil app has a friendly mentor character that demonstrates, praises, and patiently scaffolds learning. On-device AI personalizes the mentor's responses to your kid's progress — never connecting to a server, never collecting data.

ClaimCraft teaches you how to build strong arguments and think clearly! You are an apprentice advocate in the Arena of Reason, where you stack claims, evidence, and warrants like building blocks to create powerful arguments. Then test them in debate duels against AI opponents. Spot logical fallacies

Distributed-narrative cast

Meet the cast

ClaimCraft's 5-character cast embodies the foundational argumentation primitives — claim (Posit, asserting-for-testing), evidence (Heft, weighing-with-care), warrant (Lean, connective-reasoning), counterargument (Counter, opponent-taking-seriously), and fallacy (Pry, trap-spotting starting with your own arguments). Logos (mentor; renamed from site placeholder 'Warrant' — which collided with the cast warrant-primitive role taken by Lean — to match code-side style guide) frames each primitive; cast embodies them at school-debate-club / community-forum scale. Epistemic-doubt gate enforced (CRITICAL): cast scaffolds reasoning between cynicism ('trust no one') and relativism ('all claims equal'); foregrounds 'what would change your mind?' as load-bearing question; cross-app inherits investigation-bias-safe register from SleuthLab Wave 17 + AI-ethics from AIForge Wave 13 + 18-fallacy catalogue from LogicQuest Wave 1.

P

Posit

Claim — asserting-for-testing posture (claim is a card on the table, not a fortress)

H

Heft

Evidence — weighing-with-care posture (weight matters more than count)

L

Lean

Warrant — connective-reasoning posture (the BECAUSE between evidence + claim)

C

Counter

Counterargument — opponent-taking-seriously posture (best version of the other side strengthens yours)

P

Pry

Fallacy — trap-spotting posture (check YOUR argument first; 18-fallacy catalogue)

Evidence Cards

Collect evidence cards from different topics. The stronger and more relevant your evidence, the better your arguments will be.
