Frequently Asked Question
WHY DO YOU NEED A REQUEST FOR THE GAME?
The request is always the beginning. This is your growing point. You can not start any session with a therapist, or any other specialist without a request.
The request is important because it will allow the player to move more purposefully around the field and to comprehend the meaning of the squares he falls on.
WHAT KIND OF REQUEST?
Absolutely any. It can be related to money, health, purpose, relationships, and life in general.
Most of the time people come to play when they need to make a difficult decision or when they are at a crossroads. When there is dissatisfaction about here and now as well as no understanding of where to go. Some ask about who they are and why they are here.
The most important thing is, to be honest with yourself. Before the start, the game helps with the request: you will only enter with the one that is the most meaningful right now. And it is not always something that lies on the surface or seems obvious to you. Sometimes you just need to look at your request from a different angle or rephrase it slightly, a game master can help you with that.
INDIVIDUAL OR GROUP GAME? WHAT TO CHOOSE?
When a person decides to play for the first time, oftentimes he chooses an individual game. Normally it’s because the player is shy or afraid to voice his request in front of others or express his feelings openly. It also happens that a person assumes his request is not significant or too serious to be revealed in front of other participants. He wants to hide it and to keep it between him and the game master only. Although some players don’t open up even to the game master. It all gives an impression that an individual game is safer.
In fact, there is always a reason people come together in one group. They can mirror each other, highlight some moments, give advice, share their experiences, support, and show compassion. This is a very valuable experience!
People come to solve their challenges and often help the other player(s) to understand certain issues.
ONLINE OR OFFLINE GAME?
There is no better or worse choice. It all depends on your goals and preferences.
But in any case, you throw the dice yourself!
The online format allows you to play from anywhere in the world with the host you want. You do not need to waste your time in the traffic if you live in a big city. You can easily play together with your friend who lives in a different country. You can have a conversation with yourself (and this is exactly what Leela is about), while being at home in your safe space, sitting in your favorite chair with your favorite cup of tea.
All you need is the Internet and a device with a camera to play via zoom, skype, etc.
Offline games give you a bit of a different feeling because there is a direct physical interaction with the field and other people. But if this is not your priority or you feel uncomfortable, feel free to choose an online format.
We can definitely say that Lila is effective either way. Each player, regardless of the format, receives an answer to his request, if he is ready to listen and accept!
