Why Choose Where Should We Begin – A Game of Stories

Color-coded cards allow you to filter out risqué topics, making it just as suitable for team-building at work as it is for intimate evenings at home. Designed for adults, this game invites you to share experiences, uncover hidden memories, and strengthen your storytelling skills while building genuine connections.
