  • I got the couples version for my boyfriend and I and we loved it! Some of the questions were really great and it got us talking about things we normally wouldn't

    Feedback

    Only thing I wish is that there were more!

  • what an exceptional game. i've played it with acquaintances and friends alike and it's an incredible way to meet interesting people!

  • I love to pull these out when hosting friends or at a dinner party, or even just with my family at home. An easy way to create moments of connection in what can feel like a chaotic world. The pop of red also looks nice sitting out in your spaces, as a reminder that deepening relationships should always be a priority.

  • I love these cards! My boyfriend and I used the dating expansion pack when we first started talking and it was a great way to get to know each other. We still have the notes we wrote to each other at the end of the game. Would highly recommend it to anyone getting to know their partner!

  • Such a great game for new friends or those you have known for a long time.

  • This game is a great game to play with friends and family or even as an icebreaker to a party or event. Love the messages it sends!

  • I feel like this game is good when you want to get to know someone more and diving in the layers of the person.

  • I really like this brand. So positive and I think the card games are super fun and helpful for your mental connection to others

  • tried this with three of my friends I didn't know too well at the time. We were all in tears by the end. I hope they keep releasing new versions of the cards. A really intimate way to get to know someone.

  • Love these cards, great convo starters! Also have the relationship version and have used that!

  • My friend had this deck and it was a great sleepover activity. I like the brand and their social media presence is great, but sometimes I find myself turning to online sites for questions rather than wanting to buy the deck.

  • Warning! You will probably cry. I played with my best friend and we were balling over the phone. It’s a great way to get to know people even if you think you know everything about them.

  • I have the original card game and a couple merch items from WNRS -- I find almost everything they come out with to be thought provoking and high quality. Excited to see what they come out with in the future!

  • I thought of this game as a last-minute present for my husband literally on the 20th of December. Everything was here by the 23rd ready to be wrapped. Shipping is amazingly fast and the customer service is equally as fast and kind if you have a question (like I did!). My experience buying this product was one of the best I've had. The game itself is also one of the best things I've bought in a long time. I think my husband at first wasn't quite sure about it, but it's actually one of the first things he wanted to fully open after opening presents. We literally played a round on Christmas morning while waiting for family to arrive 😂 It has lent itself to some amazing conversations and it's something we plan on breaking out on date nights, trips, car rides, etc. We absolutely love it.

  • Super fun game! I've played the relationship pack and the questions are very unique and definitely get you thinking! Great conversation started and not too expensive. Like any conversation card game, once you play it you wouldn't really play it again with the same people - but, bring it new groups and you can play it over and over again!

  • I really love spending time on deep, personal conversations with friends and my partner. The questions are all pretty interesting for the most part. I appreciate the brand's mission and personality on social media.

    May get boring after playing it a couple times with the same person.

  • It's a pretty intense game to play, so make sure you play it with people you actually want to know more about. Beware, this started a spat with a couple at the table. Other than that, it's a great game that has some really insightful questions that you probably haven't thought about before or answered out loud. I feel like these would also be really great journaling prompts. They also have a great instagram to follow.
