What People Are Saying
“A few months ago everything became enchanted e.g. neighbourhood trees, passing pets, little cracks in the wall.
I tuned into sights and sounds I used to ignore and they brought messages and unaccountable delight. I found a gold star in the stairwell, I had conversations that changed me on the spot.
I can’t explain exactly what happened but it happened with Reality Games.”

“I entered the Reality Games project simply because it sounded different. I left it feeling it was one of the best things I've ever done.
You'll learn to see the world with different eyes, tap into creativity that you may have forgotten or never realised you had and, potentially, embarrass yourself in front of strangers in the place where you live. Trust me, it's fascinating and fun.
Each week, you're given simple tasks that take up as much or as little of your time as you like and then you share your thoughts and findings on a weekly Zoom call with the rest of your group who may be dotted all over the World. A bit weird at first, but that was also part of the appeal and, along the way, you get to meet lovely people who are sharing the same experience in their own way.
Whilst in the experiment, everyone I talked to about it thought it amazing, a bit bonkers and something they wanted to do, too. It also gave me something utterly unique to talk about in a successful job interview, though no-one is guaranteeing the same will work for you and the success may have been based on skills and experience.
If you're thinking about joining in, please stop thinking. Thinking and resistance is futile. I envy you starting your Reality Games journey but the best news is (SPOILER ALERT) it never really ends.”

“Reality games made me look at the world through a slightly tilted window! What a fun and oddly mind-bending time!
I met some interesting people from different walks of life, and it made the winter lockdown so much more fun and creative. The world became a happier and more mysterious, intriguing and wondrous place through the tasks we did, and I loved seeing how different people interpreted a theme, finding out what they discovered about themselves, as well as finding out more about myself. The tasks were varied, some odd and creative, but very open and down to our own interpretation. We found out about love letter recycling, understood bad dancer auditions, hung out upside down and randomly attracted an axe wielding weirdo. It was great!
If you ever have the chance to take part in this project, I would heartily recommend it, going in with an open mind and open heart, you never know what may happen by the end, but you will see yourself and the way you see the world at a slightly different angle. If you throw yourself in, you get so much out of it and learn a lot, along with a lot of laughs, thought, and inspiration along the way.
Just do it, it's fab!”

“I finished my Reality Games stint this week, and am genuinely really sad it's over. I was in two minds about signing up as I wasn't sure exactly what I was letting myself in for, but I am so glad I took the leap. Over the last month I have challenged myself to do things I would never normally do, learnt a lot about myself and most importantly met some lovely people. It's been a wonderful lockdown distraction and one I would encourage everyone to get involved with. Thank you, Trevor, for such a unique and enjoyable experience!”
— Natalie, London
“Reality Games is a thought-provoking, mood-shifting, potentially habit-altering creative experience. All that said, as a workshop enthusiast, I find that RG defies easy categorization. While a bit skeptical up until the first introductory session, I came to look forward to the creativity exercises, daily tasks and especially the weekly online meets. We had a particularly interesting group (myself excluded) which made for substantive yet fun-filled discussions led by the ever-engaging Trevor. I don't think I've laughed harder during the pandemic as I had with my Reality Games comrades. If you find yourself on the fence after reading the workshop description, as I was, just do it and let Trevor be your guide.”
- Leroy, Belgrade
“Reality games gave me a platform to be brave, and some confidence to realise everything is ridiculous so why not have a go at life, and now it's translated into people taking my mad art into their homes and giving me money! Utter madness!”
— Hannah, Northampton
Reality Games is essentially the art of noticing, the creative reporting or journaling about what you encounter whilst practising or learning to enjoy open awareness. It is about exploring transpersonal psychology in a fun way, the science backs it up.

I really enjoyed Reality Games, I’m a nurse working in Critical care, so it was a lovely thing to get back into something creative & use some parts of my brain that have been dormant for a while. It’s got me back to writing for pleasure, it won’t make me rich However it’s giving me a wee outlet.

Reality Games was a routine-breaking course with "exercises" (tasks) for every day that gave me different perspectives on everyday life. I may have used some of the approaches before, but i did so either less consciously or with much lesser motivation. What motivated me at carrying out the reality games was positive peer pressure. Although, objectively, there was no pressure except for the one i chose to put on myself. When at the end of the day the tasks, given by Trevor, were done - there was always enough space to look back on what each reality player had tried and experienced and to focus on the benefits or drawbacks of those experiences. The great thing about the reality games is that they don't have to end when this course ends.

I'm not 'a creative' at all. I'm one of those boring corporate types who work a lot around the creative cohort. I have creative friends too, and I always see the same struggle with them and their projects, the struggle to start (past the vision bit), get through the middle, and finish the piece. Reality Games took me very much from my usual 'setting'. I had homework, a routine, the need for awareness of the world around me, and a set time for sessions each week. I'm not competitive in my life or work, but in this programme, I felt inspired by my two colleagues in the team to 'do more', I feel more confident in what I do in my work and personal life and a lot more creative in that I try to take a slightly different approach with more imagination to solve problems. The 'programme' has made me more entrepreneurial spirited, in that I want to have more control over what I do and try something different for me alone. Who knows where this might lead. I'll be forever grateful to Trevor for the 'bump' Reality Games has given me.
