This is the welcoming end of Rustle.
RUSTLE INTENSITY
1 → 2 → 3 → 4 → 5 → … → 9
INTENSITY INCREASES WITH EACH LEVEL.
PLAYERS MUST COMPLETE THE PREVIOUS LEVEL TO PROGRESS.
COMPLETED LOWER LEVELS REMAIN AVAILABLE TO PLAY AGAIN.
WHY INTENSITY EXISTS
As life trundles on and we dig into our daily patterns, the emotional range we experience solidifies.
Suddenly, sending back food is difficult because conflict is rare.
Knowing your comfort zone well helps you understand your anxiety and put a name to a feeling.
Testing your comfort zone can get you more comfortable with being there.
THE SCALE IS NOT A RANKING OF WHO IS TOUGHEST.
LEVEL 1
Meant to show our most fun side.
This is the welcoming end of Rustle.
LEVEL 2
This is your first rare feeling.
The specific task is hidden until the moment of reveal.
LEVEL 3
You may feel your comfort zone edge.
This level is meant to get a baseline of where you start to feel uncomfortable.
Start to feel, not keep feeling.
When you feel uncomfortable, we note it and move on.
BUZZ · LEVEL 3 / 9 — “BUZZ THIS STRANGER’S HEAD.”LEVEL 4
We choose an emotion you desire and bring you to the edge of uncomfortable.
You play in this zone.
You have the opportunity to make it slightly more or less intense as it progresses.
THIS IS WHAT RUSTLE IS.Level 3 identifies the edge.
Level 4 deliberately operates around that edge.
LEVEL 5+
We don’t tell you the task.
You show up and say thank you after it’s done.
YOU ARE RUSTLE.HOW STOPPING WORKS
If you need 15 minutes to get there mentally, take it.
If you feel like you can’t, we first pause.
Your host will check in with you and discuss moving forward.
You can choose to continue, or reduce the intensity.
BOTH ARE ACCEPTABLE!NOTE: REDUCING INTENSITY PREVENTS PROGRESSION TO THE NEXT LEVEL.
FIND YOUR LEVEL AND ENJOY IT.
