Make your date contemplate. Get cogs turning and conversation flowing.
-
Do you have any pets? Is human dominion over animals justifiable?
-
Are you on Bumble? Is it unethical to have children?
-
What hobbies do you have? Is it human nature to create or destroy?
Brush up against the walls of the simulation we’re probably in with ReFlex: Bobo Matjila Edition! When you want to swap small talk for big picture, our first-ever ReFlex Expansion Pack has your back. This whole new set of 21 questions from philosophy queen @bobo.matjila is here to get you questioning everything (and everyone).
Pick a card, take turns answering, and get ready to explore the murky depths of the human condition at your next boozy picnic, hazy afternoon, or double date night.
Brace yourself for topics around morality, mortality, humanity, psychology, race, and capitalism. You’ll learn about yourself. You’ll learn about the people around you. It’ll be your most exhilarating existential crisis yet.
ReFlex: Curated convo-starters for refreshing banter and real connection.
HOW DO I PLAY?
There are infinite ways but here are some of our faves:
The Classic Flexperience:
Get the conversation flowing. Pick a card at random, read the question aloud, and take turns answering it on reflex. Then, pause for a moment to discuss your responses with the other players before moving on to the next question.
The Power Couple:
Just the two of us. Split the deck and give half to a friend. Grab a random card, ask the question, and take turns answering. Dig a little deeper into each other’s responses with follow-up questions. When you’re ready to move on, the other person selects a random card.
The Solo Artist:
Self-reflection on your own terms. When you’re home alone, spend a little time with each question. Take the opportunity to analyse your own opinions and the reasoning behind them.
The Interrogation:
Take turns in the spotlight. Pick a random question, read it out, and answer it. Other players can ‘interrogate’ you by each asking one clarifying question about your response. Take turns to read, answer and be quizzed.
The Exposé:
Get the inside scoop. One person is ‘The Interviewer’. They go through the deck and select a targeted question for each other player, keeping it face-down. Everyone gets a chance to be interviewed. When it’s your turn, flip the card, read the question aloud, and answer on reflex. Only the Interviewer can ask follow-up questions about your responses.
