The Confessions Game | The School of Life

A card and dice game designed to spark daring, meaningful conversations.

From adolescence onward, one of life’s greatest challenges is balancing our personal desires with what society deems acceptable. The best moments with friends often come when we can truly open up—sharing our triumphs, fears, joys, and longings without hesitation or reserve.

This game ensures those warm, fascinating conversations no longer have to rely on chance. Using a simple combination of dice and cards, it invites participants to explore thought-provoking questions on topics like career, sex, money, relationships, and family. The questions gently encourage everyone to reveal deeper, often hidden parts of themselves in a playful and intimate setting.

By framing self-disclosure as an engaging and lighthearted activity, the game transforms confessions from something risky into a social, exploratory experience. It creates space for honest, exhilarating discussions about the most personal aspects of our lives, making connection and authenticity a shared adventure.

Example Cards:

• What did you call your partner in your most heated argument?

• In your most depressed moods, what do you tell yourself about your career?

• What are you ashamed of people knowing about you and money?

• Describe in some detail the first time you had sex.

• What do you hate most about your children?

The deep, rich colours are crafted to evoke the ambiance of a hidden club or speakeasy—an environment that naturally stirs the excitement of something slightly forbidden. It’s a nod to our unpolished, more daring sides, inviting us to embrace a touch of risk and intrigue.

How to Play the Game

You might...

• Play with a group of friends to prompt conversation and ease players into the art of playful revelation.

• Use the cards as an exploratory prompt with a partner to delve into some aspect of yourselves or the relationship that otherwise feels a little out of bounds or hard to bring to the table.

• Sort through the cards on your own when you're feeling in the mood for a little inner enquiry, particularly around your career or relationship choices.
