The Fully Functioning Person

'The Fully Functioning Person' is a conversation starter that asks the question 'Why do people do what they do?' . A blend of philosophy and psychology, this game explores human potential and root cause mapping.

Why? The aim is to build a community with a strong sense of belonging and social cohesiveness. In collaboration with Tiny Miracles, there is an Indian community edition that encourages the women to ask themselves:

What are the fundamental psychological needs after leaving the poverty cycle?
How do they sustain this momentum of change?
How can the community thrive collectively without assistance?

What? Practicing the theory of self-determination, players discuss their motivations based on their assigned personalities (Underdog, Collaborator and Problem Solver).
