frequently asked
How do you start a conversation at a dinner party?
Ask something that everyone at the table can answer but nobody expects. 'If months were people, which one would be the rudest?' gets everyone talking immediately. Avoid questions about work — people get enough of that.
What's the best dinner party game?
One that doesn't feel like a game. Notice works because you just put a phone in the middle and take turns. No boards, no cards, no rules to explain. The prompts do the work — you just show up and be honest.
