OK or Not OK?

About OK or Not OK?

OK or Not OK? is a debate game that asks whether an everyday situation is acceptable to you. A situation like "Leaving bills until the last day" appears on screen; you say OK, the person next to you says Not OK, and a friendly argument begins. The game makes it clear where each person draws the line.

Who is it for?

It's a great conversation starter for couples curious about each other's boundaries and for friends who have just met. The Family pack brings out generational differences in a way that makes everyone laugh. The Bold pack is better for groups of adults who trust each other.

How to play

Online room

1. Open an online room, check one or more packs and send the code to the group.
2. A situation appears. Before time runs out, pick OK if you accept it and Not OK if you don't.
3. Once everyone has voted, you see who said OK and who said Not OK.
4. At the end of the game, each player gets a label of their own.

One phone

One person reads the situation aloud and everyone says "OK" or "Not OK". Those who disagree explain why, then you move to the next card. Votes and labels are only kept in online rooms.

Rules

• There are no points and no winner. The results screen hands out labels such as "Most Relaxed", "Strictest", "The Outlier" or "The Group Mind".
• Every player gets a different label. With enough questions, a label can be tied to a topic: one person may come out most relaxed about money, another about privacy.
• Relationship, Friends, Family, Money and Bold are free. Work, Internet and Travel are locked.

Tips

• When you vote, think about your real opinion, not what the group will say. Being in the minority isn't bad here; it starts the best conversations.
• On one phone, make it a rule that at least one person explains their vote on every card.
• If a debate drags on, move to the next card. The pace keeps the conversation lively.

Example situations

• Is it OK for your lover to take pictures of you while you sleep?
• Is it OK for your friend who owes you money to go on an expensive vacation?
• Is it OK for a sibling to tell your secret to the family?
• Is it OK to tip with card instead of cash?
• Is it OK to buy something you don't need just because it's on sale?

All situations are on the OK or Not OK? questions page.
