We're Not Really Strangers reviews and discussion

I have had this game for 6 or so years now. I've played it with close friends when I was in high school as just a fun time filler. I've also played it in college with new people I met when I lived in the dorms my freshman year. You have to go into the game with an open and know it may be uncomfortable but you will make meaningful friendship and get to know people on a deeper level. When I was first living in the dorms, I was getting to know some of the people on my floor and I remember pulling this game out and making it more of a lighthearted game to get to know people. After 4 years, I am still good friends with the people I played this game with in the dorms. I have leant this game to many people over the years after playing it with them. I know they have said that it is an awesome date idea!

She’s a classic! WNRS introduces herself before you enter the space. The intentionality behind this product is in and of itself a bright light, and that shows in the design. -1 point for what feels like cheap manufacturing (*which is presumably so much easier written about than achieved). The sweatshirts I ordered from them a few years ago were a lovely idea, although the quality is rough.

"We're Not Really Strangers" is a game-changer for anyone seeking deeper connections. This card game brilliantly facilitates meaningful conversations, whether you're exploring your own thoughts, healing, or strengthening bonds with others. The simple, striking red-and-white aesthetic is not just visually appealing but also perfectly complements the game's straightforward yet profound purpose. It's a great tool for fostering introspection and genuine connection.

I have so many of the we’re not really strangers decks. I think they’re great journal prompts for yourself and good for self reflection, but I also love them as a tool to connect with your friends.

Cute game. My boyfriend and I got it to play during one of our trips. We got the relationship expansion pack. I think lots of the questions we breezed through since it's a lot of things we've already talked about before and we're already pretty open and deep with each other to begin with. It was still fun, and some questions would just get us off on tangents. I would recommend this for newer couples who might still be in the process of getting to know each other. Another thing I just now thought of is I don't know how repayable this is after you already know the answers to the questions... maybe I'll pull it our in a year or so to revisit.

There's no other way to learn so much about someone so quickly. This game is perfect for both new and old friends and creates a deep sense on connection with just about anyone you play it with. Also, if you're not following them on social media or subscribed to their newsletter, you should as it takes it even further.

I stumbled upon this game thanks to a random stranger (pretty surprising, right?), and let me tell you, it's absolutely incredible! The variety of questions it offers really helps you understand the other person on a whole new level. Once I got my hands on one game, I couldn't resist getting more, and now my collection is constantly expanding. I've managed to convince so many of my friends to join the fun, and guess what? They're all head over heels for it too!

I have the Couples edition and still going through the level 1 (Perception) and still have the level 2 (connection) and level 3 (reflection) to explore. It's a cute activity to do as a couple, but you need to be committed to use. Try to find a little habit that makes sense to incorporate these cards.

Thank you for making more meaningful conversations with strangers easier. It's a fun way to get to know someone or a group without the added pressure! It's also a great way to get to know someone on a deeper level with unusual questions

Such an amazing experience. It’s an intense journey & the goal is to really open up to each other. Leave time. We played for four hours! Sometimes it can get very personal & id recommend privacy (& sobriety….). Great for couples. Played it w my partner and it really enabled up to discuss so many things very openly and honestly. Sometimes it was uncomfortable- but net positive. Brought us closer. Increased our intimacy. And made us give the longest, strongest hug ever.

This is definitely one of my favorite games. I’ve spent countless hours playing this with various people. I spent 3 hours playing over FaceTime with some guy I met on tiktok, lots of late nights with my girlfriends, played with new friends to get to know them, and it sparks very real conversations. My ex-boyfriend and I played (while we were still together) and learned a lot about each other. I highly recommend if you want a game that’s both fun and eye opening.

I love everything about this company. The game + every single version/pack + journals + puzzles, all of it is incredible. Whether you're playing with friends, strangers, family I always leave with reflection and new perspective. A MUST

I love the branding & message behind this brand. I own a few packs of the cards & enjoy playing it with friends & family.

*We're Not Really Strangers* is a great card game that sparks deep conversations and emotional connections. The levels guide players from lighthearted questions to more intimate ones, creating meaningful moments. The design is sleek and portable, but some questions can feel uncomfortable for those not ready for vulnerability. It’s an amazing way to deepen relationships, though, as long as everyone is open to it.

I've wanted to play WNRS for YEARS. My boyfriend and I recently played about a month ago and not only did playing it make me feel closer to him, I felt like I got to know more about myself. Really beautiful and intentional. When he asked me out, he gave me the relationship pack so we can continue to play! So special and sweet. I love WNRS.

I really enjoyed this product. I used the relationship pack, and it brought up things I had never thought to ask my partner.

I love this game!! I had been following @werenotreallystrangers for years and when the game came out, I immediately bought it. I don't come off as a very sappy person lol but I've made every single one of my good friends play this with me and it's made us all so much closer. It really helps to facilitate meaningful conversation and reflection, both individually and collectively. I also have the self-reflection journal, which is really helpful in giving journal prompts if you're someone like me who really overthinks the whole thing and never knows "what to journal about." Great job Koreen + WNRS team ✨

The quality of the typography and design is beautiful, but the case that holds the cards fell apart after just a few months of regular use. I ended up rubber-banding the cards together, which diminishes the premium experience somewhat.

We’re Not Really Strangers is such a fun and meaningful game! It’s a perfect way to connect with both new and old friends, sparking deep conversations and sometimes even surprising insights about each other. The questions really help break the ice and can lead to some pretty funny or heartfelt moments. It’s a game that goes beyond just asking questions—it’s about creating genuine connections. Whether you’re with close friends or people you just met, it’s a great way to strengthen bonds and have a good time. Highly recommend it for anyone looking to make their hangouts more engaging and memorable!

This is a very meaningful game and it asks questions that you may not otherwise be asked. It can be somewhat uncomfortable with the wrong person, but with the right person it's a great game.
