Pick Me Up is a game designed to inspire playful connection through flirting and fun.

Creating and maintaining a sense of safety for everyone is essential. We can do this through consent agreements and supporting each other’s boundaries. Here are three agreements to read aloud to your group.

1. All players should agree with the following statement before play:

“I am comfortable flirting with the others in this group. I understand that playing does not imply consent for any interactions outside the parameters of this game. I agree to respect others’ boundaries, especially when they are different than my own.”

2. Respect Boundaries - Even inside the context of the game, you can set boundaries, opt out of a round, check-in, and expect for those boundaries to be respected by all players. If you’re a more assertive player, check in before delivering a line, or if you think someone might be uncomfortable.

3. Flirt Appropriately - Flirting is body language, eye contact, fun gestures, and flirty voices. Flirting is NOT touching, aggressive posture, staring at your phone, or taking off your clothes.

Here's some more information about Consent:

Consent is:
Affirmative
Consent is the presence of a yes, not the absence of a no.

Unpressured
A “no” is immediately accepted without persuasion, influence, intimidation, coercion, threats, pressure, or manipulation.

Competent
Everyone has the unfettered ability, knowledge, judgment, and skill to have an interaction.

Specific
Everyone’s clear about what they’re doing and the boundaries of proposed activities. Where there is a lack of specificity, participants act with heightened caution and atunement.

Informed
Everyone understands the relevant risks and information around intoxication, STI status, relationship status, privacy, and anonymity.

Ongoing
Consent can be revoked at any time. Everyone should check in with each other frequently–especially when anything changes.
