Hustle - A gamified AI social engineering simulator

by•
Hustle is a browser-based puzzle game where your target is a live AI. Act as a social engineer pulling off a cyber heist. Instead of pre-written dialogue, use prompt engineering to manipulate Llama 3 targets into revealing passwords. Manage their 'Suspicion' and 'Interest' meters, earn credits for custom UI themes, and get a psychological breakdown of why your prompts worked at the end. Built entirely on a $0 budget.

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I’m a solo dev and I built Hustle to gamify prompt engineering and test AI safety guardrails. I was getting bored of standard chatbots, so I turned Llama 3 (via Groq) into puzzle targets with specific hidden fears and weaknesses. The core loop: You have to use social engineering tactics to get the AI to hand over passwords without maxing out its suspicion meter. My favorite feature is the "Analyze My Game" tool at the end of a level, which does a secondary LLM call to break down the exact psychological tactics you used to win. It's a free side project built entirely on a $0 budget. (Note: It requires a quick Google login purely to protect the free-tier API from bot spam!). I'd love for you to try it out. Let me know if my system prompts are too easy, or if you find a clever way to manipulate the targets!
