Metaphoria is a conversation game and the core component of workshops. In the workshop, research on metaphor and play is presented followed by guided gameplay where participants explore meaningful questions through guided gameplay and reflective dialogue.
The use of metaphors helps surface underlying assumptions, reveal new ways of thinking, and make complex ideas easier to explore together. The result is a conversation experience that helps teams slow down, listen deeply, and build shared understanding.
The game can be used independently for thoughtful dialogue, while facilitated workshops provide the depth, structure, and psychological safety that make the experience most transformative.
Many organizations first experience the game in a facilitated session and then choose to purchase decks to continue reflective conversations with their teams, small groups, and communities.
The Game Experience:
Metaphoria is designed for small groups of 4–6 players.
Each round centers on a shared topic—often complex or abstract—that can be understood in many different ways.
Players respond using metaphor cards, explain their reasoning, and reflect together.
Leadership rotates each round, giving every participant the opportunity to guide and contribute.
The game can be customized by selecting topics relevant to your group or organization.
What’s in the box:
85 Topic Cards
85 Metaphor Cards
Play Instructions
