Can I Finish?

Can I Finish? is an interactive game-based experience that explores workplace microaggressions through role reversal. Users participate in the same meeting twice, once as a woman and once as a man, revealing how identical contributions are received differently depending on gender.

Through humour, exaggeration, and interactive mechanics such as interruptions, idea theft, and mansplaining, the experience translates subtle behaviours into something visible and felt. The female perspective becomes chaotic and fragmented, while the male experience is smooth and affirming.

By contrasting these perspectives, the project highlights the gap between intention and impact, shifting the conversation from “speaking up” to “being heard.”

Can I Finish? aims to raise awareness, encourage reflection, and challenge users to recognise and change everyday behaviours in professional environments.
