PolyCard helps players build secure attachment and develop mature communication skills — whether you're forming a new polycule or strengthening an existing one.
- Scenario Cards — 500+ relationship situations across 8 categories. One drops per round for the whole group.
- Emotion Cards — 20 cards representing feelings that arise in relationship dynamics (jealousy, anxiety, curiosity, compersion, etc.)
- Behavior Cards — 30 triggered behaviors that surface when you're activated or dysregulated
- Action Cards — 20 constructive responses for acquiring needs and communicating intentionally
- Complete your player profile and intake questionnaire. The platform uses this to match you with compatible players.
- Join your matched room or enter a private invite code from your host.
- Introduce yourself in the lobby. The host controls when the game starts.
- Once the host launches Round 1, the room is locked — no one leaves and rejoins mid-session.

Scenario Drops
A scenario card appears on every screen simultaneously. Everyone sees the same prompt at the same time. -
Answer Window Opens
Pick your tab — Emotions, Behaviors, or Actions — and choose the card that best reflects your honest response. A timer is running. -
Lock In Your Answer
Tap Lock to seal your answer. You cannot change it after locking — and you won't see anyone else's answer until the reveal. This is the whole point: your answer is yours, uninfluenced by the room. -
Group Stats Appear
Once all answers are locked, the platform shows the group's response distribution — which emotional clusters the room landed in, and how convergent or spread out the answers are. No names attached. -
Discussion Phase
The host opens the floor. Barbecue-style — casual conversation seeded by the stats. Players can raise a hand to speak; the host picks who holds the mic. Passing is always okay. -
Reveal
The host moves to reveal. Every player's answer appears on screen simultaneously. Because answers were locked before discussion, what you see is what people actually felt — not what they thought the room wanted to hear.
"Your partner tells you they've developed feelings for someone new and wants to explore that connection. You haven't met this person. How does that land for you?"
Protective/Cautious cluster: 62% · Open/Curious: 25% · Mixed: 13%
Host: "Looks like most of us landed somewhere protective. Who wants to start — what did you notice when you read that?"
All six answers appear. River picked Anxious. Morgan picked Curious. Jordan picked Seek Reassurance. The platform notes which players are in compatible response clusters — this feeds into the session's agreement score.
After each reveal, the platform calculates a pairwise agreement score between every pair of players in the room. Two players are considered aligned on a round when their answers fall in compatible clusters.
After 8 weekly sessions, the platform surfaces players you've aligned with at 40% or more of rounds. These are your strongest compatibility signals — people whose emotional patterns and values consistently resonate with yours.
This is shown at the end of the season, not during play. The game itself is about the conversation — the compatibility score is just what the platform remembers for you.
- Camera on — required to move from lobby to Round 1. The game is built around being present with each other.
- No leaving mid-session — once Round 1 starts, your seat is yours for the session. Voluntary leave resets your progress to Week 1 with a new group next week.
- Passing is always okay — no one is required to speak in discussion. Raise a hand if you want to; skip if you don't.
- Answers are yours — no one can see what you picked until the reveal. Not even the host.
