From the website bigtalkgame.com, select "Start Game". This will take you to the game settings where you may choose your preferred language and whether you're comfortable having questions of an adult nature. Less than 5% of the questions address adult subjects, so the game will NOT be exclusively about that.

One phone may be used and passed around, or multiple phones may be used. If more than one phone is used, you may see repeated questions. The questions will not repeat in the same game if you're using only 1 phone.

When it's your turn:

1. Draw a card by pressing "Next"
2. Address the question (in person, not online) by answering it or expressing what the question brought up for you; thoughts, memories, feelings, judgements...etc. There's no right or wrong answer. If the question is vague, you get to interpret the question any way you want. "I don't want to answer because..." (fill in the blank) is a perfectly good response. Dare to be vulnerable and authentic. You'll be happily surprised! Questions are intended to be conversation openers. Others in the game may ask follow up questions or probe more into the subject. They are NOT to talk about themselves or take over the spotlight. You get to decide whether you want to receive follow up questions or not and may halt them at any time.
3. If you absolutely do NOT want to answer or address your question, you may:
   • a) Pass by pressing "Next" to get a new question. You only get 1 chance to Pass (recommended).
   • b) Gift your question to someone else in the group. When you gift your question, you lose your turn. The recipient gets an extra question, it does not affect their normal turn. Again, we recommend allowing this only one time per person per game.
4. Once you are complete with your turn and there are no further follow up questions for you, pass the phone to someone else. Now it's the next person's turn.

When you're done, you may end the game by selecting "End Game".

Optional modification (suitable for small groups or romantic partners): Everyone answers the same question. Not recommended because it affects the quality of listening. Typically, we get busy thinking about our own response and we're not as present for the person talking.

You may join Big Talk Game communities on Facebook and Instagram by selecting "Join Community". It's a great way to connect with like minded people, receive tips and updates, suggest questions, share experiences and take the game to the next level, however that looks for you!

Enjoy Big Talk Game and send us your feedback, ideas and questions. If you don't see your language and would like to help us add it, please get in touch. We're constantly adding new questions and your input is welcome!
