We’re Not Really Strangers earns strong reviews for catalyzing meaningful, vulnerable conversations that deepen relationships across friends, partners, and family, proving the brand’s core game concept works. Reviewers praise the thoughtful prompts, elegant red-and-white design, and versatile editions (Couples, Self-Reflection, Family), while noting downsides like limited replay with the same group, discomfort with the wrong audience, occasional “cringe” or mismatched prompts, and inconsistent merch/build quality.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
I played this game with my husband and it unlocked a lot of interesting conversations. I felt like we walked away with a deeper understanding of things we had never talked about (and probably never would unless prompted).
i bought this as a gift for a friend and really enjoyed the prompts. think you need to be in the right mood/headspace with your friends to play this, but it's a set of pretty interesting and diverse questions

great game! nothing to complain about it really helps you get to know someone very quickly, especially good for new roommates
I loved this game! It is a great way to get to know others as well as yourself. A good exercise in being vulnerable in a safe environment.
Was a really great game to play to build a relationship one on one and also with groups for ice breakers/team building !
Super fun to connect with others with this game.

I first stumbled across this brand on tiktok and this has become my go to game It's especially great because the game is so compact so I can tuck it away in my backpack and bring it on the go. The game is easy to understand and is a great way to get to know more about someone whether they are a stranger or your childhood friend!

More expansion pcks
I thought this would be fun game to have on hand but it ended up being a game changer for my relationship. The questions made my partner and I both cry and we ended the night feeling closer than we ever have. I bought the regular version, self version, and relationship version and love all of them. I can not recommend this highly enough. I have given so many as gifts and constantly have people telling me that it was the best gift they've received. 10000/10

I love this game so much!
I love this game!! I keep it in my car so that I can bring it to any gathering I have with friends. It’s brought me closer to people and created stronger bonds between us.

I love the size of the box, but sometimes I get annoyed with how the note pad and instructions just lie on top and don’t really have a place to sit.
A great little game for couples to play together and learn about each other. I had a lot of fun hearing about my partner’s experiences and memories that we don’t often share due to the craziness of life, but it’s nice to rediscover different answers and small moments you shared together.
Feedback
I would recommend more question about the individuals themselves and less about the relationship.

i have loved doing WNRS with my friends ~ such an incredible and easy way to connect deeply with those around you
THIS GAME THIS GAME THIS GAME. get it for all your friends. get it for yourself, your mom, partner/spouse, your grandma. Anyone will benefit from having this game. Have had some of the best and most memorable conversations playing this game with family and friends and just brings about another way to connect with people you make think you already know well. The self-reflection journal/cards and expansion packs to the original game are also great assets to have. Their branding and aesthetic is amazing !!!!

This game is really fun to get to know people! I would say it's not a good ice-breaker for people you are first meeting, but it is good to dive deeper after a few exchanges, or to just level up your friendship/relationship/etc.! Played this with some newer friends at a party, and it was so fun!! Also played this as an ice-breaker on our 1st day of class, and it was SOOO awkward. Would recommend it as a game, but don't play it as your first meet someone

My husband and I used these when we drove across country. We went on so many side conversations and talked about things we hadn't talked about before it was alot of fun!

This game is a great way to get to know a stranger, as long as everyone is on the same page. My partner and I played the entire game in 3 days, dedicating each day to each deck, and from my recollection, the game does a wonderful job of subtly encouraging a bit more vulnerability with every level. 10/10 would recommend to people who are just getting to know each other and have a willingness to share.

The game is one to pull out on a raining afternoon, with friends and a bottle of wine. The money is worth the fun memories and lots of laughs.

My boyfriend and I are going on year 3 of a long distance relationship and WNRS has been such a helpful way for us to start conversations as you can ask "how was your day" only so much. Through the couples editions, not only was I able to learn more about him, but of myself. It has really helped us connect on a deeper level. For any of my friends who had to go in a period of long distance with their signficant other, I would always recommend this game, and they too speak highly of it!

My sister introduced me to this card game and it has done nothing but bring myself and all those I've played with closer together. It encourages you to be vulnerable in a safe setting and answer questions you don't traditionally think to ask. I would recommend this game!
