One Low-Pressure Mission at a Time.
ShakoUp is the pocket coach that turns awkward silences into deep connections using psychology backed micro challenges.
Tired of replaying awkward conversations in your head?
You walk into a room and check your phone just to look busy.
You run out of things to say after 'How are you?'
You want to connect, but you don't want to be weird.
Social skills aren't a talent you're born with. They are a muscle you build.
We just made the gym fun.
Social Practice in Stealth Mode.
Test new social skills in the real world without anyone knowing. To them, you're just chatting. To you, it's a mission.
Not Just Advice. Psychology.
Every mission in ShakoUp is built on proven behavioral science.
The Ben Franklin Effect
Ask for small favors to subconsciously build trust.
The Peak-End Rule
Craft memorable exits so you are remembered fondly.
Dopamine Loops
Questions that trigger positive memory recall in others.
Thin-Slicing
Micro-adjustments to your "default face" that change first impressions.
Never Run Out of Things to Say.
Forget the 'weather' talk. Access a playbook of openers, bridges, and exits that actually work.
Watch Your Confidence Grow
Stop guessing if you're getting better. Track your journey progress. Earn XP for bravery, not just perfection.
Your Safe Space.
Your entries are private. Your data is never sold. We use AI to help you, not to train public models on your personal stories.
Wait, but what if...
It works for dates, but also for networking, making friends, or just chatting with the barista. It's about human connection.
No. Our missions are 'stealth.' Most people won't even know you're practicing a technique on them.
You still get XP. ShakoUp rewards courage, not just successful outcomes. We celebrate the attempt.
Not at all. We have missions that don't even require speaking. You set the pace.
