Have you ever experienced having limited access to healthcare? Worried about your ability to easily use public transport? Struggled balancing a career and childcare? Been treated as an outsider to the culture you live in? This game will get you there.
Let’s Play Equal is a light-hearted yet powerful board game designed to break taboos and ignite meaningful conversations about diversity and inclusion. It challenges you to reflect on what you know, think, and feel about yourself and others. By stepping into someone else’s shoes, you’ll experience firsthand how privilege—or the lack of it—affects life’s opportunities. Become aware of what you (don’t) know, think, and feel about yourself and others.
Let’s see how (un)fair life is
The differences that shape us can be beautiful, but they can also create barriers. Not everyone starts life on equal footing. Some face obstacles because of their ethnicity, disability, religion, or other aspects of their identity. And not everyone is so lucky to have a supportive family, friends, or a boss, and that everyone can be anyone. You will never know about the struggles of others, about their thoughts and feelings, until you ask and try to understand. They will never know about yours until you open up and speak up. As it is said in relationships, communication is key. Let’s take this key in our daily life and use it.
Let’s play, talk, and empathise
The social board game Let’s Play Equal is facilitating a safe and creative space to talk about life’s struggles and think about how we would react if we were in someone’s shoes when a life event occurred. How would you deal with first love in Sander’s shoes? How is Coco dealing with expectations of society after transitioning to be a woman? A normal day for us can feel like a struggle for Marja, who has a paralysed arm, don’t you think so?
These personas provide your team—up to 8 people—with a safe space to reflect on justice, (in)equality, diversity, and inclusiveness. Let’s break taboos and make eye-opening insights that can change lives. With a lot of self-reflection in oneself, as a team you can solve life struggles in creative and empathic ways. Nothing is controversial here. It is life and its situations.
Let’s Play Equal
Imagine a world where freedom of speech is really free, where everyone has the same opportunities, and differences are only making us glow. With the learning experience of “Let’s Play Equal”, you and your company can be one step closer to that world. By using the most unfair game in the world for a fair future for all.
