HOW TO PLAY

STEP 1: DEFINE YOUR CHALLENGE

Gather your team and pinpoint one core challenge needing a flash of creativity. Appoint a "Minister of Documentation" to ensure that no bright idea escapes during the brainstorming.


STEP 2: DIVE INTO THE FIRST PERSPECTIVE

Play round 1: Launch into creativity with a coin toss to decide whether you'll start with the "you are" or "convince" mode. Draw a perspective card, put on your metaphorical glasses, and look at the challenge from a fresh angle. Start a five-minute timer and urge everyone to share their thoughts freely, no matter how unconventional, boring or daring they may be.


STEP 3: REFRESH AND REIMAGINE, DIVE INTO THE SECOND PERSPECTIVE

Play round 2: Same challenge, new perspective! Reset and swap your glasses for a fresh look. Change the game mode for a new angle: if you played “convince” before, you now play “you are” and vice versa. Set the clock again and get foolish within five minutes. 
 
Play at least two rounds to activate both game modes (“convince” and “you are”, and if you can't get enough, feel free to play as many rounds as you'd like: just flip the coin again and draw a new perspective.

STEP 4: IDEA EVALUATION

Time to sort through the creative chaos. For each round you played, vote on the ideas — the funniest, most boring, or most likely to be implemented. Pick the top three that spark the most interest for further exploration.


STEP 5: REALITY CHECK AND STRATEGIC PLANNING

Come back down to earth to see which ideas might actually fly. Apply them to your real-world challenge, spot potential red flags, and figure out what could be seamlessly integrated. Prioritize based on impact.
