The game is seen as a wonderful tool for self-discovery, relationship-building, and getting to know people on a deeper level.

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

I’ve used both the normal “friend” pack and the relationship + expansion pack and I’ve LOVED both!!

Playing the original pack with a group of friends was very special and brought me closer to people I already considered my best friends. It cultivates vulnerability and kindness/empathy in such a natural, fun way. I definitely think it forces players to see we’re really just all humans trying our best and we need each other!

The relationship pack + its expansion pack is 10/10!! My fiancé and I love occasionally playing the full game during a date night - it (again somehow) forces vulnerability in areas you may not realize you needed. My fiancé & I are so close and open and yet we leave each game feeling so much closer. We also use cards more one-off throughout tough weeks as little touch points to foster connection. It’s really special, and so fun!

Awesome product.

A game of depth and connection that brings people closer together. 

Would love to have an app version! 

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 loved We're Not Really Strangers as it asks questions that you wouldn't normally think of and helps you continue a conversation. I loved the clearness of the font and the quality of the card deck as well. I also loved the ease of putting them back in the box. 

This game is your traditional ice breaker on steroids! In a good way. Very fun with a lot of people

such  FUN game for a bigger group to play. biut also I like plauyong with just me and my husband. Its is much better than sitting around watching tv for hours. 

The family edition of the game proved to be a valuable experience. It encouraged conversations and a deeper understanding of each other, bringing us closer. Emotions ran high and there might have been a few tears (liberating) shed. 

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!

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!

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

This game is good for first dates or when you’re just getting know people. It’s a fun get together game but only if you want to get deep! 

Played this with my friends and we had alot of fun learning more about each other! It's kind of a "one-and-done" activity. I also think this is a game best played with people who all know each other well and are comfortable sharing. 

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. 

the best way to make everyone uncomfortable at the function.. (kidding)

i love this project and have so many fond memories of playing this with friends / past relationships. a great way to open up conversations you never thought you needed to have and learn more about the people in your life. 

the kind of vibe i bring to the party hehe

LOVEEEEEEE their games and their merch and their IG posts. This company has helped me through a breakup and got me closer to my college friends. I am forever grateful <3 So many late nights at the library were spent playing this game in between semi-productive study sessions.

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’m going to play with everyone I care about.  Cheaper and more effective than therapy. 

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. 

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!
