Two individuals are playing a trust game that has three rounds. In the first two rounds of the game, they have accumulated $1,000 as a team
In the third round, Player 1 is blindfolded and asked to decide whether he would let Player 2 guide him to a particular destination or opt out of the game. If he lets Player 2 guide him, Player 2 can either guide him to the correct destination or take him elsewhere. If he leads him to the correct destination, each of them will get half the accumulated money. On the other hand, if Player 2 can lead him astray, Player 2 will get 75% of the accumulated money and Player 1 will get 25%.
