Subject, Skills, and Grade Level
This game teaches players about common birth-control methods, through the lens of speed-dating. Half the characters play humans looking for birth control (often for reasons other than pregnancy prevention). The other half play various methods of birth control, looking for new friends. According to playtesters, it made birth control feel more approachable and personal, and less clinical. It's appropriate for high school and above; it might also be appropriate for middle-schoolers who are known or suspected to be sexually active.

Time & Players
The runtime is 25 minutes, plus 5 minutes per 4 players. It can accommodate between 8 and 22 players.

Rules, Tools, & Assessment
The facilitator should be an experienced sex educator, who's up to date on current research and best practices. It would also be helpful to have a large table or set of small tables, with enough chairs for everyone. (Or if playing online, you'll need a video chat service with the ability for the facilitator to control who's paired with whom. e.g. Discord, a paid Zoom account)
