  • I’ve played this game a few times now and it’s alway helped me to get to know the people I’m playing with a lot better. Have recommended to others for that purpose!

  • I will forever love this game! Its brought up serious and sensitive topics, but after the game is done, I always feel really connected and understanding of the person or the people that I played with.

  • Really beautiful and thought-provokiong products. I have the Self-Reflection pack and use it to help guide journals. Very worth it!

  • I am an empath and I love to have deep conversations. I find that the We're Not Really Strangers game is a great way to connect with people on a deeper level. The game asks thought-provoking questions that can help you learn more about yourself and the people you are playing with. I have played the game with friends, family, and even strangers. I have always found it to be a positive and enriching experience. The game has helped me to learn more about myself and the people I care about. It has also helped me to build stronger relationships with the people in my life.

  • Very good played with my boyfriend and we answered and played honestly. Helped with connecting.

  • I don't own this game currently, but I need to get one! I played this with a few friends and we got to know each other on new deeper levels.

  • My partner bought this game a few months ago and it has encouraged us to deepen and strengthen our relationship with one another. Highly recommend if you are trying to get to know someone.

    You can play this game with anyone to get to know them better.

  • I got their different card games during the pandemic in order to build deeper and stronger relationships with my loved ones, but I haven't really touched them since. It is a great and fun game to become more introspective with others and to self-reflect, but I wish more versions were light-hearted. It's a great concept, and I wish I could play it more but I'm no longer in the headspace and stage of my life that a lot of the products are geared towards.

  • I love everything about this - the mission, the branding, and the experience! My girlfriend and I love using the couples pack when we’re having a date night and want to connect. 1000/10 would recommend!

  • MY FAVORITE GAME TO PLAY WITH PEOPLE. If you know someone it is a chance to get to know them better and if you are just meeting it is a great way to share experiences.

  • The original before the knockoffs came along. Really love using these cards both with new people and people I’ve known a long time but want to have a deeper conversation with. I love it

  • This game can get deep but it really is a great way to get to know someone. Use it as a conversation starter for someone you want to get closer to.

  • Good way to open up as some of the conversation points aren't things that easily come up in the day to day. Helped me feel closer to my partner!

  • I love this game. It can be a super intimate game yet at the same time just a simple fun game, depending on how you play it and who you play it with.

  • Love the mission and idea behind this brand. Love their social media content & am an avid follower still. Haven't purchased the card game just yet, however

    Tech-enabled versions of the game could be interesting via an app or some other type of content subscription vs. just printed cards

  • So great for getting to know those around you! My boyfriend and I did it and it really helped up build intimacy . Good for friends, family, and significant others.

  • Very enjoyable game to play with close friends or at parties. Some deeper questions, some more surface level.

  • The card game is a cute conversation starter. I also love the minimal red branding. The other merch is hit or miss, I bought an XL hoodie from them and it fit like a medium on me.

  • Really great game. I like that there are instructions for both 2 player and group play. It encourages more meaningful conversations and deeper connections with those you play with. I think it’s a great way to grow a relationship!

    An adults only NSFW version would be super fun!
