Give Us Your Stories, Human
Hello, Humans is a party card game about connecting people through the telling of special, and sometimes deeply personal, stories from their lives. The humans tell stories that pertain to a particular prompt while trying to sneak specific words in without the aliens noticing. Hello, Humans aims to provide a space where people can create deeper interpersonal connections through a fun, gamified, and competitive experience.
Inspiration & The Magic Circle
My co-designer and I felt as though party games would often devolve into raunchy, absurd, and ridiculous spaces, while social card games like Where do we begin? by Esther Perel didn't provide enough of a magic circle to really encourage play.
We wanted to do something different: a game about telling stories that had an objective, competitive strategy, and dynamic gameplay that would invite players to step into the world of the game and permit them to play with honesty and vulnerability.
