Three years ago, traveling alone through South America, I got an idea. I felt that most of the conversations I had with people was just the same that I had yesterday and it was hard to really connect with people. I also realised that many of my relationships back home followed the same patterns as well. Have you experienced the same?
So the idea I got was to make a game that can bring us closer. So I started to put together a spread-sheet with the questions I really wanted to ask my friends, family or a stranger. I tested the game in hostels and during long uncomfortable buss rides and the respons was great. People LOVED IT and experienced quickly a deeper connection and curiosity for each other!
“Best game ever! Good times and real conversations come out of this” – Sophia Cooper, Paris
“A catalysator for socialising and/or deeptalk like alcohol.” – Le Tónne, Paris
“To help people meet and have connecting conversations! What in the end is more important than having strong and close relations to those near you? This game creates conditions for deepening and building relations! – Jessica Ekman, Sweden

Since then I have collected some really great questions and developed the game in front of you. 90 cards that combined gives you over 700 questions. The straight forward way of playing the game is just to pick the questions. Another way to play, that me and my friends like a lot, is to let the person to your right decide the end of the question from four green cards. In this way you can ask the questions you are the most interested in and let the curiosity of the players be included in the game.
The game also includes some cards that says TOGETHER and then you just do what the cards say. It can be a card that will help you get focused and relaxed or a card that challenge you in how well you really know each other. In that challenge all are asked to write down an answer to a question on a hidden note and then put that into a bowl. By taking one note from the ball at the time you and your friend can guess who wrote what.
When people are asked what the most important things in life is it is often connected to the relationships and people we have around us. To spend time with our kids, spend time with family, friends and loved ones. But often what we do and talk about when we meet ends up becoming a habit. My hope and belief is that this game can give a spark even to the most boring couple dinner and make anyone who plays more interested in each other and ourselves. It simply gives you deeper connections to who ever you play with. So lets start playing and learn to know each other!
This game would look much like the first picture above if it was not for my friends. And the co-creation do not stop here, It kicks off now, with the help from all of you around the world to send me the questions you most of all would like to ask. I can then add them to the app and to future extensions of this game and together we make this game even more awesome! I also made an app version of the game to be able to reach more people.
If you send me a question that end up in the game It will be signed with your name and where you are from. My vision for the future of the app is that you can choose questions from for example Madagascar to enrich and deepen your relationships.
Money will only be drawn from your account at the end of this campaign if we succeed. It is all or nothing. If we do not succeed there will be no games and if we succeed there will be games for everyone! So share as much as you can.

I have done what I can to look into and avoid any hustle going forward. However, things can always go bad. As an individual, I do not have access to a company to assist when things go wrong, and I have no control over life. Everything should deliver on schedule. If something goes off the rails, I will post an update to explain the situation. NOTE: At project launch I only have 5 copies of the game. If the project closes successfully, then I’ll order the rest of the boxes and hope that they deliver as promised from there end. Which I think they will due to that my pre-order of 5 games went smooth. I’ll keep everyone informed through project updates as I work on getting your ordered boxes into your hands.
