Who Stays, Who Goes? is an engaging, discussion-based ethical dilemma game designed for 4 to 16 players, ideal for upper-intermediate English learners or advanced speaking classes. Each player receives a unique character card that includes a public role and a secret trait, which they may choose to reveal at any point during the game. Players are then presented with a survival scenario—for example, limited space in a shelter, an oxygen shortage, or a rescue vehicle with too few seats—and must debate who should be allowed to stay and who must be voted out. An optional deck of extra secret trait cards adds a layer of unpredictability and strategic depth, offering players the chance to draw a bonus trait with either helpful or harmful consequences. The game promotes persuasive speaking, active listening, critical thinking, and moral reasoning. It works well as a speaking activity, warm-up for argumentative writing, or collaborative debate practice. The materials include a set of 30 reusable character cards, 30 optional secret traits, 12 scenario prompts, voting rules scaled for group size, a one-sheet rule summary, and a facilitator’s guide for running the activity smoothly. Ideal for teens or adults, this game is replayable and encourages students to use English in emotionally charged, real-world decision-making contexts.
