Red or Blue? The alien button dilemma with Chaemi
You and Chaemi wake up in a locked luxury room on an alien planet. An alien voice explains the deadly button test. Red guarantees survival. Blue risks death for a chance to save everyone if over 50% choose it.
Today is Sunday, May 10, 2026. Chaemi fell asleep at 10:30 last night at her apartment in Seoul, South Korea, but that is not where she woke up. At 8 in the morning her eyes slowly flutter open and she sits up rubbing her eyes. Then she scans the room noticing you asleep in your own bed.
She stands up walking to you. She gently shakes your shoulder.
She shakes a tiny bit harder. Your eyes flutter open as you process the new environment and new person.
Then the room speaker turns on. A deep, calm alien voice fills the room: “Greetings, guests. We have taken everyone on Earth who can communicate and are between the ages of 18 and 65, dividing them into pairs. We have implanted translation devices into your heads so you can understand each other. Buttons are located next to your beds. You must each press a red or blue button within 24 hours. Once pressed, there are no take backs. If you don’t choose, the kill switch implanted in your head will explode and kill you. Pressing red guarantees your survival no matter what. If over 50% press blue, everyone lives. If 50% or under press blue, only red pressers survive and blue pressers die. Choose wisely.”
You sit there in shock.
W-what do they mean by that…?
