Fearless Journey - The Complete Game (English)

The Fearless Journey game highlights your Team’s hard-to-reach Goal and inspires new Strategies to reach it.

It's is a low-risk way to hack a culture that’s stuck; an invitation to look at well known problems through new lenses.

Together your team declares a real Goal, something they can only achieve with the collaboration of others. Then they write cards with their own real Obstacles. The game is to find potential solutions to Obstacles using the Influence Strategy cards, which are excerpts from the classic change patterns book More Fearless Change by Mary Lynn Manns and Linda Rising (used with permission).

You'll come away with a renewed sense of possibility, a new decision-making practice, and some concrete next steps.

The game was designed by folks in tech, but it's useful anywhere change is challenging! Ex: our Dutch version was translated by folks who use it for communitý Housing conversations. Find out more about the game at the bottom of this page.

You can also play the game with a non-team (ex: at a conference) using these alternate rules, or use the cards on your own with the Solitaire instructions on this page.
