What even is the Leela Game?
Leela is one of the oldest self-discovery games in the world, originating from ancient India where it was created around 2,000 years ago by Hindu saints and scholars. It was designed as a tool for spiritual and personal growth. The game uses symbolic elements that represent different stages of life and states of consciousness. In Leela, modern coaching techniques intertwine with ancient wisdom, offering an effective method for a deeply transformative experience.
Unfortunately, in the Western part of the world, the Leela game is still relatively unknown. However, it has gained significant popularity in other countries—especially in the former Soviet Union, where Leela and other transformational games have spread widely over the last 15 years. Their popularity has reached a point where nearly everyone is at least familiar with one of these games. Since 2021, being a facilitator of transformational games in these countries has become an official profession.
The Facts Behind Leela
It is proven that games and play are vital for children and their cognitive development, social skills, creativity, physical health, emotional regulation, stress relief and language development. Just as play is essential for children's development, it remains equally important for adults.
One study conducted by researchers at Stanford University showed that play also plays a key role in adults' personal development. The research found that playing stimulates cognitive flexibility, meaning that people adapt more easily to change and solve problems more effectively. In addition, play helps reduce stress and improve emotional regulation, contributing to greater personal fulfillment.
Just as children develop cognitive, social, and emotional skills through play, adults can use transformational games to break through limiting beliefs, unlock creativity, and gain clarity in life. Playing the Leela Game keeps us connected to our inner world, reminding us that growth and self-discovery are lifelong processes and play is a powerful tool to continue evolving as adults.
How is Leela game played?
The Leela Game is played similarly to other board games. The game board has 72 squares, and players move based on the number rolled on the die. The die directs players to specific squares that represent different states of consciousness. As players move from square to square, they observe their reactions and inner states, reflecting on how these insights relate to their real lives.
The board features many snakes and arrows – just like in life, the journey in Leela isn’t always a straight path upward; we often fall and rise again. Snakes bring us down (to lower states of consciousness) and represent certain challenges we face in life, such as patterns we unconsciously repeat. Arrows, on the other hand, lift us up (to higher states of consciousness) and represent aspects of life that inspire and support us.
Although the game is played individually by rolling the die, the squares we land on are not random, as one might think when hearing that it’s a game. After all, coincidences don’t exist, right? Everything is always as it should be, and we receive exactly what we need for our highest good and growth in the given moment (even though our Ego may find it hard to accept, especially when dealing with truly painful and traumatic experiences). We can also see this as having some form of “higher” guidance during the game. I’ve often heard players say they truly felt guided by something beyond themselves – whether it’s our Higher Self, the universe, guardian angels, spiritual guides, God, ancestors… whatever or whoever resonates with us.
Through honesty with oneself during the game, limiting programs and beliefs can be released, stuck feelings liberated and traumatic situations might get closer to being healed. This is how a new perception of oneself and one's life is formed. Leela board game starts and ends on square number 68 and it is highly important that once the game is started it is played until it is finished.

Why does Leela have such a powerful transformational ability, and what makes it different from other personal growth tools?
Leela truly encourages individuals to delve deep into certain states, to ask themselves why certain things keep repeating in their lives, and what they could do differently. When a player notices during the game that they can't seem to reach the "magical" square number 68, where the game concludes, they have no choice but to reflect and investigate how those particular squares mirror their real-life experiences.
The snakes in the game are especially significant because they vividly show what is holding us back in life, what blocks or hinders our development. And if we don't understand the message the first time, we are likely to land on that square again. Just like in life, Leela repeats certain patterns until we truly understand them.
Once a player finishes the game, they have the opportunity to apply everything they learned or received during the game in real-life practice. Each time they find themselves in a certain situation, they can refer back to the game by asking themselves if it’s another situation that "pulls" them down to lower states of consciousness and whether they can respond differently this time. Leela thus serves as a kind of magnifying glass or flashlight that helps illuminate certain areas of our lives. It also assists in finding answers that already reside within us but haven't yet come to our awareness.
Another great advantage of the Leela Game is that it has no time limits. We've all been in situations during therapy or coaching sessions when important things start to surface, and we want to explore them more deeply, but the session is coming to an end, and by the next session, something else has already come up. Unlike traditional (psycho)therapy or coaching sessions, which are often constrained by time, the Leela Game has no such limits, allowing you to fully dive into relevant themes until you have explored and understood them entirely.
What other benefits does the Leela Game provide?
-
Deep Exploration: The game encourages you to explore personal and spiritual growth deeply, without the pressure of a "ticking clock".
-
Therapeutic and Coaching Supplement: It can serve as a supplement to traditional therapy or coaching, providing a space for continuous and uninterrupted self-exploration.
-
Personalized Experience: Each session is unique, guided by the player's journey and the insights they uncover along the way.

-
How long does Leela game take?As already mentioned - there is no time limit for Leela game and it generally should be played until it is finished. It is very individual how long this takes - it might be anything from half an hour to several hours. But because we all have busy schedules and can't stay focused and fully present for hours on end, one session is always planned for maximum 3 hours. The player can finish earlier, but if the player does not finish in one session, another session(s) is/are planned accordingly for another date(s). Exception are special organized in-person Leela Game Day events (I inform you in advance how long each event will last).
-
In which language will Leela game be played?Leela the game can be played in English or Slovenian.
-
What happens if I don't want to finish the game?I highly recommend finishing the game once started to ensure a comprehensive and impactful experience with deep self-exploration, emotional resolution, and the integration of insights into daily life. Players often report that even though it sometimes took longer to finish than they initially expected and they almost gave up, they gained extremely valuable insights during this time that they would not have obtained if they had finished (or given up) earlier. As the saying goes, everything happens for a reason, and everything happens at the right time for us. ;) However, if for any reason you decide not to finish it, you are of course free to do so - it is your game, hence your decision. I once got a question if "something bad" happens, if you do not finish it - the answer is no, nothing "bad" is going to happen and no, it is also not like Jumanji. ;)
-
How come I have never heard of the Leela Game before?I hear this question a lot, as the Leela Game is still relatively unknown in the Western world. However, it’s actually one of the oldest games for self-discovery and transformation. In the past 15 years, Leela and other transformational games have gained immense popularity in countries of the former Soviet Union. There, they are so well-known that nearly everyone has heard of them, and since 2021, being a transformational game facilitator is even considered a recognized profession in those countries. While these games haven't yet spread as widely outside of this region, the international community of transformational game facilitators InFlowGames, of which I’m a part, is working hard to bring them to new audiences and share their life-changing potential.

-
Is it better to play alone or in a group?There's no one-size-fits-all answer to this—it really depends on what you're looking for. If you're seeking a more personal and intimate experience, I’d recommend playing individually. This allows me to focus solely on you and your insights. On the other hand, group sessions offer a rich opportunity for sharing ideas and perspectives, which can enhance your experience through collective insights and community energy. Ultimately, both options have their own unique benefits, so it comes down to your personal preference and what you hope to get out of the session.
