Welcome to Face Flip!

Face Flip is a fun, interactive game that helps clients explore anger feelings and reactions.In Face Flip, the goal is to help your character shift from feeling frustrated to feeling calm and happy. You do this by transforming their facial features one by one, discussing coping skills along the way.

When the game opens, you’ll see the menu screen. From here, both players can choose their character from six different options, view the "How to Play" instructions, or jump right into the game.

At the start of the round, both characters appear on the screen with an angry expression. When it's your turn, the card deck will appear beneath your character.To play, take turns drawing a card. Each card presents a scenario involving a big feeling—like using deep breathing or acting out in frustration—followed by a question to spark discussion.

The bottom of the card tells you what to do next. If the scenario uses a positive coping skill, you will "Flip a Feature to Happy," replacing an angry part of the face with a happy one. If the scenario shows a negative reaction, you may have to "Flip a Feature to Angry."Watch out for the Special Cards! These add a twist to the game. You might draw an "Eruption" card that removes all features from your face, or an action card that lets you remove a feature from your opponent.

The goal is to complete the transformation. The first player to flip all 5 features to happy wins Face Flip!

Face Flip is a great way to spark conversations about emotional regulation and healthy coping skills through play.
