Most conversations never get past the surface.
The weather. The job title. The same three questions everyone asks and nobody remembers. We meet people for years and never really meet them at all.
Let's Ripple™ is the opposite of that.
How it works
Roll. Choose. Ask. Share.
- 01
Roll
The die shows a few numbers. Read the one closest to you — that's yours.
- 02
Choose
Find your number on the board. Two words wait there — pick whichever one grabs you.
- 03
Ask
Turn the word into a question with who, what, when, where, why, or how.
- 04
Share
Tell your story, or ask the other player to answer. Then they go and by the second turn, you'll forget you're playing a game at all. You're just Rippling!
Where you'll play it.
At work
A team that's only ever talked deadlines discovers there are whole people three desks away.
Anywhere
Strangers become something more in the time it takes to roll a die. Or play solo — one word a day, one real conversation.
Everything you need to start rippling.
- The Let's Ripple™ game board — 48 words, two for every roll, so you're always choosing
- One signature 24-sided die
- A deck of Ripple Connection Cards to take any conversation deeper

Let's Ripple™ for Teams
Turn coworkers into people who actually know one another.
Every team has the same quiet problem: people work side by side for years and never really meet. They know each other's job titles and Slack handles — but not what drives them, what they're proud of, or what they'd do over. That gap is invisible, but it's expensive. It shows up as low trust, slow collaboration, shaky onboarding, and meetings where nobody says what they actually think.
Let's Ripple™ closes it the simplest way there is: conversation. No ropes courses, no forced fun, no trust falls. Just an easy, genuine way for a team to get off their screens and actually connect.
Where teams use it
- Onboarding — new hires belong in week one, not month six
- Hybrid and distributed teams — build trust even when you rarely share a room
- Team meetings and offsites — open with a Ripple and watch the room change
- Leadership and culture work — make connection a habit, not a one-time event
Two ways to bring it in
Run it yourself
Order Let's Ripple™ for your team and play it on your own schedule — it's designed so any manager can lead it on day one, no training required. Ideal for recurring use across many teams.
Bring in Steve
For offsites, kickoffs, and leadership intensives, bring Steve Harper in to lead a live Ripple experience — virtually or in person — and give your team the full power of the 8 Minute Ripple alongside the game.

Connection is a habit that takes courage, practice, and commitment. Let's Ripple™ is how you build it on purpose.
Built on a simple, proven idea.
Let's Ripple™ is an extension of Steve Harper's iconic 8 Minute Ripple — the experience he's used for years to turn rooms full of strangers into genuine connections. The idea behind all of it is the same: the relationships that carry us through hard times aren't built in the hard times. They're built in the small, human moments before them.
Connection isn't luck. It's a habit — one that takes courage, practice, and commitment. This game is how you practice it.
Be genuine. Be generous. Make a difference.
Cast the first stone into the pond of possibilities. 🌊
