Personality Pathways
Adults navigate a 24-space board answering questions about personality traits, real-world situations, and interpersonal dynamics. Players discuss what makes people outgoing, creative, competitive, or warm—drawing on personal experience and opinion. Genuine communicative gaps drive each prompt: one player needs information or perspective from another.
