Brand: Actually Curious
Actually Curious is a party game that builds connections through meaningful questions. Nothing builds bonds more than being seen and feeling heard. Actually Curious is the only party game that uses the science and psychology of emotional connection. The game is simple. The blue cards are the easiest to ask a room of strangers. You work your way up to the intimate red cards! This game isn’t about winning or losing. Actually Curious is about getting past small talk and building meaningful connection. Each round, one player picks a card from one of the stacks and asks the other(s) that question. Everyone gives their answer and the card gets awarded to the person who gave the “best” answer. Four levels of intimacy Blue Questions like “What were the holidays like for you growing up?” helps to break the ice! Green Questions like “What are you willing to fight for?” let us see where each other is coming from. Yellow Questions like “How do you find fulfillment?” take us a step deeper to connect to one another. Red Questions like “Can violence ever be justified?” push the party to deeper vulnerability and understanding. Suggested game styles! One-on-one Take your time, work your way up from blue to green to yellow to red. After you've tried all, hop around! Group of 3-7 One person reads the card, while the others answer. The person who reads, awards the card (and one point) to the person who gave the answer they like most. That person picks the next card!
