What People Are Saying
See how Death Conversation Game players are benefiting from these conversations and gaining new perspectives on grief, death, and dying.
A moving and interesting experience. I expected to be more emotional - but in fact it was very healing to talk about death and all the related topics within a "hanging out" situation. It was a lot about listening, which is so beautiful and powerful.

Playing Death Conversation Game is the most I haver felt seen in my fears and my griefs about death and loss. As someone who studies how play can permit us to explore the darkest of places, I see this tool as exemplary.
