In the cosmic eye-blink of the last millenium we humans have come from chariots to space ships, from huts to highrises, from a flat earth to a global village. We are all neighbours in a rapidly shrinking world and our primary challenge in our new millenium is to live fully and freely as individuals, as communities and as
cultures without enslaving ourselves in conflict with each other.

~ Bill Hanson, Victoria, 1999


The Appreciation Game's
purpose is to create a playful opportunity for us to experience and to encourage the best in ourselves, and in each other, so that we may grow in our appreciation of the joyful spirit of life that is our birthright.

The Appreciation Game fulfills that purpose by offering us a safe, comfortable, stimulating and enjoyable way to share our ideas with each other on how we can all live more fully and freely. It eases us past small talk and into big talk; into talk about the things in life that matter, things that make life better. It expands our ability to communicate clearly. It recognizes and rewards life enhancing words and deeds. It encourages self-honesty. It builds trust.

The Appreciation Game is a Win/Win game. Win by giving the best of yourself to your game. Win by empowering others to do the same. Win by giving the gift of appreciation to yourself, and to others as part of the game's scoring process. Win by playing with the life enhancing attitude that you have the absolute power to create your own experience in this game and in your life!

The Appreciation Game is an evolutionary discussion game. It supports the personal evolution of its players by providing unique opportunities for them to share their awarenesses and wisdoms with each other. In turn the game itself continually evolves toward its full potential by inviting its players to share their ideas about how the game can be expanded and improved.

The Appreciation Game stimulates vibrant conversations that explore ideas, share experiences, seek solutions, expand awareness and help fulfill dreams. Lively, juicy, full contact, no limit conversations that introduce us to the infinite possibilities in ourselves, in each other and in life itself.

The Appreciation Game is a toy as well as a tool. Use it freely to enhance your life for the sheer fun of it. Like the angels we can fly if we take ourselves lightly.

The Appreciation Game
can be played at home, at work, on the beach, in a car or any place else that you can comfortably hold a free flowing discussion with people who matter in your life. You can play it with family, friends, co-workers or team-mates. You can play it socially or professionally. You can play it  as a therapeutic or educational tool in support groups, skills development courses, counselling programs, human potential seminars, classrooms or management workshops.

The Appreciation Game is open to your ideas. You are welcome to adapt it in any way that suits your purposes and you are invited to share your adaptions with the rest of us.
