A board of 72 squares and one die: you enter only on a 6, and on every square you land on, a Mirror gives you a reading tied to the one question you named before you rolled. Then it asks you one or two questions, and you answer in your own words.
Everything you write is kept in a private Journal you can open weeks or months later, when the same question lands differently. Your intentions and your answers never leave your iPhone.
Lila is the ancient game of self-knowledge, made private.
HOW A JOURNEY GOES
- Name the question, or the knot you are working through.
- Confirm you will look at it without masks.
- Roll. You enter the board only on a 6, the symbol of Birth.
- Move square by square through states of mind: virtues that lift you, shadows that pull you down.
- On every square, read the Mirror, answer its questions in your own words, and roll again.
Reaching the last square is the point. There is no score.
CHOOSE THE MIRROR'S VOICE
Gentle: supportive, honest, never flattering.
Unsparing: direct, unflinching, names what you avoid. Never cruel, never a diagnosis.
You pick the voice at the start of every journey, so the same board can be kind on one evening and blunt on another.
A JOURNAL THAT NEVER LOSES YOUR REFLECTION
Every journey is saved to your private Journal. Read back what you wrote months ago and see how the question has moved since. The Mirror's Thread, a quiet continuity digest, lets a new journey remember what an earlier one was working through, so the Mirror never feels amnesiac. Nothing leaves your phone to make that happen.
PRIVATE, ON YOUR PHONE
No account, no cloud, no tracking. Where your iPhone supports it, the Mirror personalizes a reading to the words you actually wrote, composed entirely on your iPhone and re-checked before you ever see it. Start a journey or open your Journal straight from Siri or Spotlight.
WHEN A JOURNEY CLOSES
At the close, the Mirror can gather the whole path you walked against the question you named: a longer Synthesis, for when you want a deeper reckoning than square by square (Lila Plus). You can also keep a Journey Keepsake, a quiet image of the path your token took across the board. By default it carries none of your words, so it stays a private marker of the journey rather than something to perform.
NOT THERAPY
Lila is a contemplative board game, not a substitute for professional support. If something feels heavier than a game can hold, please reach out to a real person.
