Don’t/Do This - Game

Whatever kind of creative person you are, this thought experiment game will get you out of your comfort zone. How? It stimulates creativity through limitation. Boundaries push you to think beyond the usual solutions and send you in different directions. That's exactly how you end up with unexpected and extraordinary ideas.

Don’t/Do This - Game involves taking three "Do" cards that define a unique imaginary project. Your task is to come up with a solution for this project. However, you also get three "Don’t" cards, which provide a set of rules.

For example:

Do: Create clothing that is also a landmark | For two persons | To become more productive
Don’t: Don’t use straight shapes | Don’t make the size static | Don’t use non-recyclable material

The "Do" and "Don’t" cards challenge you to think differently than you normally would. At first, the rules might feel like a big obstacle. But once you start playing, you will see that limitations also harbour possibilities. Rules prompt you to think about loopholes.

Play the game by yourself to get inspired, use it as a conversation starter, or play it in teams to discover who can come up with the most surprising solution. The outcome could even be the beginning of a real project!
