Game sparks candid conversations on sensitive topics in Kenya

Spice FM's 'The Situation Room' sparks conversation with new game. A recent segment of Spice FM's 'The Situation Room' highlighted a new game designed to encourage open dialogue about sensitive topics. Nick Mararo, a participant in the discussion, shared an anecdote about a woman's reaction to the phrase 'gonga boli usigonge bibi,' which translates to 'hit the ball, don't hit the wife.' Her response, 'Na ukigongewa?' ('What if you're the one being hit?'), immediately silenced the room, illustrating the game's ability to prompt reflection on societal norms. Mararo explained that the game aims to create spaces where such conversations, typically avoided, can take place. The segment underscores the importance of creating platforms for open and honest dialogue on sensitive issues. The game's design and the resulting discussions showcase the potential for innovative approaches to addressing complex social dynamics.
