I’m going to a live taping of NPR’s puzzle, trivia, and games show Ask Me Another, which is a lot of fun to listen to. You could check a box saying that you’re open to being a contestant, and I received an email with a (super long but really fun and humbling) quiz that runs… Continue reading NPR’s Ask Me Another gives fun challenges

The Phone Stack
I wholeheartedly approve of this bar/restaurant game described in Kempt: It works like this: as you arrive, each person places their phone facedown in the center of the table. (If you’re feeling theatrical, you can go for a stack like this one, but it’s not required.) As the meal goes on, you’ll hear various texts and… Continue reading The Phone Stack
DIY: a simply wonderful game
Tis the time of year for sitting around and enjoying one another’s company, but sometimes, conversation gets old. Here’s a little game to liven things up a bit!

Well, I’m officially a published author.
Shouldn’t there be some sort of super-excited-feeling that goes with this?!?! I never wrote an “aftermath” post to the Find the Future game that I played back in May, because the truth is, I felt a little deflated. Unimpressed for sure. Disappointed overall.
