The IRL Safety Code

Every challenge we publish has to pass these rules first. They apply to every kit, for every group, whether it’s an office party, a night in with friends or a month of side quests.

1. Points, never speed or risk

No challenge rewards being fastest, highest or most daring. Nobody needs to run, climb or race.

2. No dares, no stunts

Nothing that could hurt anyone, damage anything, or that someone would regret the next day.

3. No eating or drinking tasks

No challenge involves alcohol, eating, tasting or forfeits. Drinks of any kind, or none, are always fine.

4. Strangers aren’t props

No challenge involves approaching, filming or putting pressure on people you don’t know.

5. Anyone can pass

Anyone can sit out or swap any challenge, at any time, with no reason needed and no penalty. Where teams score, they score together, so nobody lets their team down.

6. No posting required

Nothing needs a phone, an app or social media. Photos are optional, only of people who’ve said yes, and never posted without everyone’s agreement.

7. Kind, not cruel

Humour is aimed at ideas, never at people. Nothing about looks, bodies, beliefs, health, money or anything someone might be sensitive about.

8. Made for everyone

We avoid challenges that need particular abilities, equipment or spending. Most cost nothing, and the kits say clearly what to do if a challenge doesn’t suit someone.
