Turn Emotional Baggage into Meaningful Discovery
The Emotional Baggage Board Game helps people build emotional literacy, empathy, and stronger connections through meaningful play and open conversations.
WHY IT MATTERS
"It’s unprofessional to show emotions at work."
How many times have we heard this?
We created this game to challenge that norm, because suppressing emotions doesn’t make them disappear; it makes them fester, leading to stress, burnout, and a lack of trust in teams.
Creating A Safe Space for Open Conversations
The Emotional Baggage Board Game offers a safe space to turn hidden workplace struggles into open and honest conversations, helping players strengthen their skills to recognise and express their emotions effectively, while developing empathy for others.
It’s a bridge to deeper understanding, better communication, and stronger relationships, all through play.

Players have found that the game opened perspectives, sparked creativity and encouraged honest, meaningful conversations.
I never thought about approaching the problem and emotions this way!
Serious topic but we were also laughing and having fun throughout the game!
Finally, I get to have a conversation in a safe environment.
Surprisingly, I became more aware of myself after the game...
Good opportunity to have those really important conversations and develop empathy.
Excellent for team building and very educational.
