Page 2: What Are The Purpose Games? The Purpose Games are the primary way Voice Up brings purpose to life in everyday settings. They are interactive, practice-based experiences that help individuals and groups explore purpose through participation rather than performance. Unlike competitive programs that reward confidence, speed, or visibility, The Purpose Games are intramural by design. This means participation is open, voluntary, and inclusive. People can speak or remain quiet. Lead or observe. Try, pause, return, and try again. The goal is not to win it is to practice being human with intention.
