Let’s Talk About: Student Life, One Game at a Time

Let’s Talk About: Student Life; is an interactive card game designed to support higher education students (ages 20–24) navigating Imposter Syndrome, a phenomenon affecting around 70% of people, and nearly half of all students. These thoughts often lead to anxiety, burnout, and reduced well-being, especially during the critical first year. My research revealed that dialogue is a powerful tool for easing these feelings. Inspired by this, I created a game structured around the academic year, offering three themed packs: - Icebreaker – to build connection and ease pressure at semester start - Stress Buster – to boost exam readiness and intuitive confidence - Chill & Reflect – to encourage self-reflection and celebrate progress Each pack includes four card types: Action, Insight, Team Task, and Wild Card, blending individual activities, meaningful conversations, collaboration, and a touch of spontaneity.
