LIFE ADVENTURERS
vs. The Grey
Two Paths, One Choice
There’s a Life Adventurer within you.
This is your sign to go set it free.
The Grey
In The Mission Game, The Grey is the symbolic enemy of aliveness. It’s the anti-adventure. The numb autopilot. The stale routine. That voice that keeps whispering….
“Maybe someday…”
It feeds on fear, comfort, distraction; and slowly drains the color from your life.
Let’s be clear: you weren’t born for The Grey.
Life Adventurers
The Campfire is a universal symbol to humankind. It’s warmth. Storytelling. Togetherness. Shared experience. Here, it becomes a beacon: calling Life Adventurers from around the world. To connect and play together once again.
We choose wonder over routine. Stories over excuses. Courage over comfort. This is how we choose to play life on our terms.
Consider this your invitation.
Are you in for your adventure?

Questions They Asked
What is the essence of the game?
Taking action in the real world. You making it real. That’s the very heartbeat of this game. Everything else is entirely optional.
Can I just read through the cards?
Honestly? That’s not what they’re meant for. This isn’t a deck for passive scrolling, pondering, or collecting ideas for “maybe someday” – they were designed for active real- life action. For adventure. These missions only come alive when you do. Answer them. That’s what makes this deck unique.
How do I complete a mission?
You complete a mission when you’ve taken action, felt alive, and done something real and new. Possibly even stepped outside your comfort zone. If you return with a story you want to tell to all of your friends (including us!), you’re doing well. Enjoy your adventures!
How do I know if I’m playing it right?
If doing the mission makes you feel something… a little uncomfortable, a little alive, a little curious… then you are doing it right. Keep going!
Why even bother?
Look, we’re not here to tell you to change your life. The Mission Game isn’t a magic pill that’ll fix everything overnight.
We’re here to invite you. To go on a journey. To live life like an adventure. To feel things. To feel alive again. These missions will ask something of you. Stay inside, and not much will happen. Go outside and half-ass it? Same deal. But go all-in… who knows where it’ll lead.
It’s what you make of it. And yes, that applies to life itself too.
Who or what are Life Adventurers?
The What
Life Adventurers is the vision behind The Mission Game, founded by me, Marijn van Laerhoven. It’s a community and philosophy about breaking free from The Grey, saying YES to life, and turning everyday moments into adventures. The world is our playground.
The Why Behind
Because I know what it’s like to feel stuck, to live on autopilot, and to ignore life’s many calls to adventure. After a massive personal transformation, I felt the urge to give something back… not by preaching, but by inviting.
With Life Adventurers, I want to remind people (and myself) that we can live life as an adventure: the adventure of getting to know ourselves, and the adventure of exploring the world around us. To me, those two journeys are inseparable.
What is The Mission Method?
Every mission follows a simple cycle:
-
ACTIVATE: You receive a mission, say YES, accept the mission, and feel the spark.
-
ADVENTURE: Step out, immerse yourself, and live it fully.
-
STORY Return with a story only you can tell, and pass it on.
That’s The Mission Method: missions lead to stories, and those stories can become brand new missions.
THE CAMPFIRE CIRCLE
Together, we are the heart of the adventure.
The Power of Stories
The campfire is more than just a source of warmth or light. It’s a symbol known across cultures, has been for centuries.
For us Life Adventurers, it’s a beacon we carry wherever we go. It’s the flame that says: You belong. You’re invited. You matter.
It calls people of all walks of life to connect, to share stories, and to inspire each other to adventure more, create more and live life more fully. Whether together or alone, the campfire keeps us connected.
Life isn’t forever. Your story matters. Make it mean something.
TRIBE OF 101
There may be more Mission Game decks in the future, but there will only ever be one first print.
That’s why we call it the Tribe of 101 edition: the original circle of explorers who believed in the game from the very start. Each deck is tracked. Each one carries its own story. Together, they are the roots of something much bigger.
Owning a Tribe of 101 deck means you’re more than a player. You’re part of the founding crew. The first to say YES. The ones who carried the flame forward when it was just a spark.
Only 101 will ever exist. The question is: will you be one of them?

Marijn van Laerhoven
Founder of Life Adventurers Breaker of The Grey. Builder of stories. Creator of The Mission Game.
Once lost in the fog. Now on a mission to wake the world the F up.
Creator of The Mission Game: 52+1 real-life missions to kick people out of autopilot and back into their story.
Life Adventurers is my rebellion. Against The Grey. Against the woo woo. Against fake smiles and passive self-help.
This is real life. No gurus. No fluff. Just action. (unicorns remain welcome)
I don’t have all the answers. But I’ll hand you a mission.
It was amazing to have had Marijn at home as he truly represents what this community is about. I am happy I was a part of his mission and I’m sure it will be a big and lasting mission that will transform him and the people around him.
Marijn is such an inspiring being. He is absolutely nice, full of interesting stories, open-minded, respectful, and quite unique. We love the Mission Game he made up and made us discover!
Marijn is an exceptional guy, very sensitive, down to the earth and very friendly. He taught me the missions’ game, which is a game where you challenge yourself and you must acomplish your goals.
