The Curiosity Game
The Curiosity Game is a great exercise for quickly landing in connection with friends or strangers. It allows for quite deep meetings within a very short timeframe and is great for introductions and beginnings of events.
The Curiosity Game
Setup: Pairs
Time: 10-15 minutes (one way)
1) Set up the game
– Team up with a friend, partner, family member or stranger.
– Designate roles: A and B
– Find a timer.
2) The game starts
A has 5 minutes to ask B any question they are really curious about. It is important that A only asks questions about which they are really curious.
B can answer or decline to answer any question.
3) Feedback
B gets 1 minute to give A feedback on the questions. Particularly if they liked some questions and if there were something else they would have liked to be asked.
4) Questions based on the feedback.
A gets 3 more minutes to ask questions, based on the feedback.
5) End the game
The game ends with A (the person who has asked the questions) finishing these three sentences:
– ”My first impression of you was…”
– ”The moment where I felt you the most was…”
– ”One thing I really get about you is…”
6) Continue
Switch roles or partner up with someone new.
