Round 1
Round 1
Rate Your Life
Rate each of these out of 10.
1 is lowest, 10 is highest.
1How healthy do you feel physically?
2How healthy do you feel mentally?
3How well have you been sleeping?
4How much fun are you having?
5How excited are you about your life?
One person gives their rating. Then it's the other's turn.
Round 2
Brain Tabs
Imagine your brain is Google Chrome.
What are the 3 tabs running in your head right now?
Think about:
A milestone we're chasing right now<br>Something happening outside of work<br>An idea I want to try<br>A conversation I need to have
Say your 3. Then they say theirs.
Round 3
Their Rose,<br>Their Thorn
Guess their best moment of the last three months.
Guess their hardest moment of the last three months.
Think about:
A milestone we hit or missed<br>A meeting that mattered<br>Something at home<br>A moment with the team
For each one: take your guess. They say what it was. Then they guess yours.
Round 4
Rapid Fire
In the last three months.
1One word to describe the last three months.
2One thing we spent too much time on.
3One thing we should have spent more time on.
4A decision of mine you went along with but didn't fully agree with. (Even a small one.)
5A moment you were glad I was there with you.
One of you asks all five. The other answers. Then switch.
Right now.
1One thing on your plate you're dreading.
2One thing on your plate you're excited about.
The next three months.
3From 1 to 10: how well do I know your vision for the coming three months?
One of you asks all three. The other answers. Then switch.
Last Round
The Next<br>Three Months
Each of you record your answer as a voice note.
Each of you record your answer as a voice note.
In the coming three months,
what's the one thing you're most looking forward to,
and what's the one thing you see as the biggest challenge?
Think about:
Something we built finally going live<br>A milestone with a date on it<br>A decision we keep delaying<br>A conversation we need to have

2Go to Activities. Select ‘Session Capsule.’

5Add a photo together.<br>(Optional)
6Saved to your timeline.
Playing from different cities?
Save with your voice note.
Link your space with your cofounder.
They add theirs from their device.
Don't have an iPhone?
Save it on WhatsApp.
Open your cofounder's chat on WhatsApp.
Each of you record the voice note and send it.
If you play this game again in a few months, these voice notes might be worth hearing first.
And that's it.
If you got to know one new thing that's on their mind, maybe the game did its job.
Next
Play again in three months.
The same questions could surface different answers.
