Seven minutes in heaven is a teenager's party game first recorded as being played in Cincinnati in the early 1950s.[1] Two people are selected to go into a closet or other dark enclosed space and do whatever they like for seven minutes.[1] Sexual activities are allowed; however kissing and making out are more common. Variations on the game expand the time allowed to any reasonable short period up to 30 minutes.[2] The participants can be selected by various methods, such as spinning a bottle, or the selection of an object from a hat. Limits are established either before the game or by the two participants once alone.
The game was referenced in the movies 13 Going on 30 and Good Luck Chuck and in the tv series Men in Trees (S01E07).
