The Empathy Game

Do you want to go beyond small talk with colleagues, friends, family, or strangers? This is your game to truly connect with people. Imagine a red car, I’ll do the same. Now describe it to me. No red car would ever be the same. No thought, or story ever is. We listen. We might smile. We nod. But, do we really understand each other?

Empathy fuels connections between people.

But, what's a real connection in the digital age? When do we still sit down, actively listen and engage with each other's stories? The Empathy Game is a playful way to dive deeper with friends, family, or colleagues.

The game is simple. You pick a card and tell your story, from the everyday to the fantastic. Afterwards, the listeners engage with your story by throwing the dice and exploring elements of their human experience.

The Empathy Game encourages sharing, listening, and engaging with our fellow humans. It's the active act of recognition and vulnerability that brings us closer together, and what could be better than that?
