What are members saying about our first official game, 24 Killers? 🤔

🏆 "This is a top tier first choice!"
💪 "This looks like a super fascinating game, excited to dive into it!"
🌙 "It's incredible honestly. It's reminiscent of Moon RPG."

I think it's safe to say we know how to pick 'em 💅

Have an opportunity (with $$) for the right variety creators.

HMU via DM if that's you, and if y'all could share with any other creators you think might be interested that'd be much appreciated!

We've been working on this for months now, and we just put it live, so if you're interested in being a part of this, meeting other people on your level, being part of a community built on CARE and LISTENING to each other.

The Hosts gets a curated set of questions designed to move beyond game mechanics — into personal stories, emotions, and perspectives.

The game is just the icebreaker, the goal is to forge friendships.

Each month you get a copy of our carefully selected curated game, and at the end of each month we all gather in small groups all over the world - online or in-person - to discuss our shared game experience.

Social media isn’t living up to what was promised, most social events are loud, drunken, or full of small talk, AI chatbots are being offered as a solution to loneliness, and so many communities feature folks talking at each other, but not actually talking with each other.

It took me years after moving to NYC to meet the right people and build genuine friends.

It got me thinking about how difficulty it is these days to creating meaningful friendships. For a time where we are so connected, we seem to be very apart.
