  • Question
    Why can't it be 20 minutes instead of 7 minutes?
    Community Answer
    It can be if you want. It is just tradition that but most people do seven minutes, also some people may not want to leave people in there too long so that nothing bad happens.
  • Question
    Is it true that sometimes people have sex while in the closet during playing 7 minutes in heaven?
    Community Answer
    It is true that sometimes people take this game to an intimate level, but you should never take part in something that makes you feel uncomfortable or engage in sex before you are ready. Doing so could result in pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases, or other complicated situations.
  • Question
    What do I do if I would like to go longer than seven minutes?
    Community Answer
    You could ask before the game starts if everyone wants to agree on a longer time period. Otherwise, try to stick to the seven minutes so everyone gets a turn to play.
  • Question
    What happens if they want to "do something" but don't feel like they really have privacy?
    Community Answer
    If you feel like you don't actually have the privacy to do something, you may want to avoid doing it. In some cases, people may be listening at the door to the room where you're having your 7 Minutes in Heaven.
  • Question
    Last time, they made a rule that I had to kiss. What if I don't want to?
    Community Answer
    You don't have to kiss. Try explaining it to them, or just don't play with that group of people.
  • Question
    What if I want to French kiss but they don't?
    Community Answer
    Respect other people's boundaries. If the other person doesn't feel comfortable, don't force him/her to do anything.
  • Question
    This game sounds dirty and gross. My friends tried to force me to do it, but I didn't. Would they see me as a wimp?
    Community Answer
    They could, but they shouldn't if they're good friends, and they definitely should not try to force you to do anything you're not comfortable with. Not wanting to have to kiss or touch people you're not romantically interested in, or not wanting to make a game of such things, has nothing to do with being a wimp; it's perfectly reasonable. If you don't want to do it, don't let anyone pressure you. See Method 3.
  • Question
    What happens if I get put on the room with someone I hate? Do we just stare at each other?
    Community Answer
    You can do whatever you want in the room. You can talk, ignore each other or just stare at each other. It's up to you.
  • Question
    What if the people at the party take it too far and force me to play when I don't want to?
    Community Answer
    Leave the party immediately. You should never stay someplace where you feel you're not being respected and/or are being pressured to do something you don't want to do.
  • Question
    Is there anything sexual involved? My friends are going to play it but not sure if it's appropriate.
    Community Answer
    This game does not require you to be sexual, but in some cases that does happen. If you feel uncomfortable, you might suggest playing a different game or opt out of playing.

    Community Answer
    If the two girls are comfortable with it, then yes, but usually it is a boy and a girl. Keep in mind that 7 Minutes in Heaven does not have to involve romantic or sexual activity.
  • Question
    People are telling me that this game is bad and dangerous. Is that true?
    Community Answer
    It's not technically dangerous if you are with a nice group of people who won't do anything bad to you.
  • Question
    What if the party host's parents refuse to give us a spare room?
    Community Answer
    Say you are in your room, close the blinds and turn the lights off and make the other players wait outside the room.
  • Question
    What's the worst thing that can happen? Like maybe people will make fun of you and stuff?
    Community Answer
    The worst outcome of playing this game depends on your personal limits. If, for example, you decide to have sex while playing, it could result in pregnancy. If you're only kissing, there is less risk, but you could still get a sickness like mononucleosis (mono).
  • Question
    What's the purpose of picking names if you spin the bottle to be paired up?

    Picking names and spinning the bottle are two different ways to do the pairing. You can do one or the other, or something else entirely, as long as the end result is a paired couple.
  • Question
    In 7 Minutes in Heaven, can you choose your partner or does it have to be random?
    Community Answer
    It's random. That unpredictability is the point of the game.
  • Question
    What if I am paired up with a person I do not like? Do we just sit for seven minutes?
    Community Answer
    You can, yes. Talk to the person, so you can understand there will be no hard feelings.
  • Question
    Is it good or bad if I get picked to go in with my crush?
    Community Answer
    Well, that depends on how you feel. It's normal to feel a little nervous and you should feel free to say no if you're too uncomfortable. But it might be a good opportunity to tell them how you feel, or even kiss them!
  • Question

  • Question
    What if they open the door without warning and you told them not to and you were in the middle of kissing someone and you didn't want anyone to see?
    Lydiah342
    Community Answer
    Well the people will of already have seen you so you can't really do anything about it. Just let it go.
  • Question
    What do I do if I have straight girls and gay girls there but no guys? How do I play?
    Community Answer
    Well, if everyone really wants to play, the straight girls will have to be willing to experiment (make sure everyone understands that it is just a game, and no feelings are involved). Otherwise, choose a different game.
  • Question
    What if its just girls at the party?
    Community Answer
    If there are only girls at the party and you aren't interested kissing someone of the same gender, it might be best to play a different party game. Some options include games like Truth or Dare, 21 Dares, and Ghost.
  • Question
    The last time I played, I got locked in and they wouldn't let me out. Should I play with them again?
    Community Answer
    You should play only if you tell them not to lock you in again. Explain to them that locking people in the room is not how the game is supposed to be played.
  • Question
    How old do you have to be to play the game.
    Community Answer
    There isn't exactly an age limit to playing the game. You could be 10 and play it without any sexual activity, or you could be 20 and play it as you like. It all depends on the rules you set and on making sure the others feel comfortable doing it!
  • Question
    What should I do if my partner wants to have sex, but I don't?
    Community Answer
    In a very straightforward manner, you should tell him that you don’t want to have sex. If your partner tries to force you, then leave the closet and let everyone know that they should avoid going into the closet with that person.
  • Question
    While playing the game, I was put in with my crush. We were silent almost the whole time, but after 6 minutes he kissed me on the cheek. He asked me to play again next week. Yes or no?
    Community Answer
    If you're comfortable with it, say yes! It sounds like he likes you back but he's shy. He sort of got up some courage there at the end, but then he wished he would have done more. Just make sure you don't let him talk you into anything you're not ready for.
  • Question
    If I want to finger the girl I'm with, should I kiss her first or go right for it?
    Community Answer
    You should start with kissing and ask her if it's okay to go further. You should never touch someone sexually without getting their consent first.
  • Question
    How do I ask people if they want to play it?
    Community Answer
    Just say, "Hey guys, who wants to play 7 Minutes in Heaven?" Explain the game if they don't know what it is. If you want to play with a specific person, say, "Would you like to play 7 Minutes in Heaven with me?" If they say no, accept it and don't try to pressure them.
  • Question
    Can we have sex in the closet if we're adults?
    Community Answer
