Based on the Wildly Popular Instagram Account, the Darkly Funny Game is Now Available for Order

Ridley’s Games, known for its bold, playful, and offbeat game designs, is thrilled to announce the official launch of Disappointing Affirmations: The Game, a hilariously frank party game developed in collaboration with Dave Tarnowski, the creator behind the wildly popular Disappointing Affirmations Instagram account.

With over 2.5 million followers and a devoted fanbase, Disappointing Affirmations has become an online phenomenon, delivering a daily dose of brutal honesty wrapped in the soft tones of self-help culture. Now, fans can bring that same irreverent, cathartic humor to their game nights.

Disappointing Affirmations: The Game invites players to embrace the absurdity of self-improvement with a mix of sharp wit, dark humor, and painfully relatable truths. Whether you’re roasting your own inner monologue or out-sarcasming your friends, it’s the perfect game for anyone who’s ever looked in the mirror and thought, “Meh.”

“Contrary to the game’s premise, we are incredibly excited to bring Disappointing Affirmations: The Game to life through Ridley’s Games,” said Bill Miller, President of Galison, Mudpuppy and Publisher of Ridley’s Games and Petit Collage, a subsidiary of Chronicle Books. “Partnering with Dave to transform his brilliantly bleak humor into a social game has been a real joy. At a time when so many are craving connection, laughter, and a little honesty, this game gives people permission to laugh at the mess – and maybe even find comfort in it. Ridley’s is really proud to offer something that’s as cathartic as it is entertaining.”

Made for anti-optimists and friends who are actually willing to accept that “It’s okay to not be okay,” Disappointing Affirmations: The Game is suitable for ages 18+ and is available now for order.
