Smell is our primal alert system. We sense danger without asking. Nowadys we should ask more often whether we should fear or not.Let’s play a game and start to listen to our senses.

Game mechanics

It works. For real.

Nine different levels of risk. One has to take a card and create a smell that resembles this level. Bottles with base essences are given.

Even people without knowledge of scents manage to succeed in creating smells. The better people know each other the easier it gets.

After about an hour of playing most noses are done and need to rest with an open window.
