Seven minutes in heaven is a kissing game[1] first played by teenagers in Cincinnati in the early 1950s.[2] Two people are selected to go into a closet or other dark enclosed space and do whatever they like for seven minutes,[2] often making out.[3]

The people can be selected by various methods, such as spinning a bottle (whoever spun the bottle and the person the bottle points to), every boy or every girl placing an item in a container with the other sex picking the first item they touch and being paired with whoever placed the item, writing down names or assigning numbers.
