How to Play Temptation

Game guides · Updated 23 August 2026

Temptation is the guided challenge card game on Spice Up. It takes a group of two to eight players through four escalating phases of the evening, starting with light, fun prompts and building toward increasingly intimate challenges. You control the pace entirely.

The objective

Work through four phases of the evening together, each one a little more adventurous than the last. Cards are drawn one at a time and each has a challenge, question, or dare. Complete it, skip it, or take a forfeit, entirely your call.

How to set up

1. Open Spice Up and tap "Let's Play"
2. Add your players, give each person a name, gender, and colour
3. Set any personal limits if needed (off-limits topics, max intensity)
4. Agree on a safe word together
5. Tap "We all agree. Let's play" to confirm consent
6. Pick Temptation from the game menu

The four phases

Temptation is split into four phases. You can move between them at any time using the phase tabs at the top of the screen.

Phase 1, Gentle

Light, conversational prompts designed to warm the group up. Questions about preferences, light physical contact, things you find attractive. Nothing requires undressing or explicit content.

Phase 2, Playful

Things get a little more personal. Mild physical contact, light undressing, more intimate questions. Still comfortable for groups just getting started.

Phase 3, Spicy

Explicit intimacy, direct physical prompts, more adventurous challenges. Best suited for groups that are comfortable with each other and ready to push things further.

Phase 4, Wild

No filter. Anything goes within the limits each player has set. Only accessible if you've selected Wild intensity.

How turns work

There are no set turns in Temptation, cards are drawn as a group activity rather than directed at one person. When a card involves specific players, the app picks them based on compatibility. Some cards involve one player, some involve pairs, and some involve the whole group.

Intensity levels

Temptation has four intensity settings:

• Gentle: Conversational, no explicit content
• Playful: Mild contact, light flirting
• Spicy: More explicit, direct physical prompts
• Wild: Full intensity, no filter

You can change the intensity at any point during the game. The app remembers which cards have been played so you won't see repeats.

Player limits and compatibility

Players can set personal limits before the game starts. If a card involves a topic a player has flagged as off-limits, that card is skipped automatically. Players can also mark specific other players as "doesn't play with", the app will never pair them together in prompts.

Tips for a better game

• Start on a lower intensity and move up when everyone feels ready
• Remind everyone of the safe word before you begin
• Set up player limits honestly, the game is better when everyone is comfortable
• Skip freely. No card is mandatory, ever
