The School of Life - The Friendship Game

The Brand

The School of Life is an organisation built to help us find calm, self-understanding, resilience, and connection especially during troubled times. We place emphasis on the need to understand ourselves better, so that we can secure serenity and make optimally reliable decisions, particularly around love and work. Our ideas are divided into six key topics, that together contribute to the calmer, more resilient and self-aware lives we deserve: Self-Knowledge, Relationships, Work, Calm, Sociability, Leisure & Culture

A Game to Get the Best Out of Friendship

Friends are at the heart of a good life – and what we want when we get together with them is an opportunity to share what is really going on inside us as well as the chance to hear about what has touched, moved, or preoccupied them.

This is a game designed to get the very best out of our friendships. Played on a board with a dice and cards, it invites us to ask one another a series of kind but searching questions about our lives. The more honestly and clearly we answer, the faster we advance around the board. The winner of the game is the person who has best demonstrated that bedrock of true friendship: the capacity for sincere, kindly self-disclosure. The game is guaranteed to bring out new facets of our friends and will allow for a series of fascinating moments of revelation and mutual discovery.

The cards cover four categories: Love, Work, Self, Family.

Questions cover topics such as:

• Have you ever been secretly a bit attracted to someone you probably shouldn’t have been? (Light)
• Have you ever acted on this attraction? (Heavy)
• Do you have a strong sense of right and wrong? (Light)
• Have you ever violated your own moral code? (Heavy)
• Have you ever complained about a colleague’s behaviour? (Light)
• Has anyone complained about your own behaviour in the workplace? (Heavy)
