About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for a performance of acting and deduction with Emozionarium! This party game for 3 to 8 friends assigns each player a role and a secret emotion for everyone else to guess. Forget Hollywood actors; here, the focus is on pure emotional expression! With the help of the "Plutchik flower," a scientific map of emotions, you'll dive into unusual situations – like being a terrified photographer at a wedding or an ecstatic retiree in a post office line. The challenge is to act out the situation and convey the emotion without giving direct clues, and of course, to try and guess what others are feeling. Those who guess correctly score points, either by figuring out someone else's emotion or by having theirs guessed. There are three rounds with increasing difficulty, guaranteeing lots of laughter and a great workout for your emotional intelligence. It's a perfect blend of party game and role-playing that wins everyone over, turning each game into a unique and hilarious journey. Ideal for those who enjoy interacting, having a good laugh, and testing their expressive and perceptive skills.
