What started as a grad school project, launched as a Kickstarter, turned passion project, Game of Phones is now a business that sells worldwide. The concept for the game came from our fascination with the way technology changes everyday behavior. We wanted to play with the common sentiment that excessively checking phones is considered anti-social, yet pervasive. Ultimately, Game of Phones became a reaction to this ideas as we saw how phones can make conversations and social interactions better or more fun with the right prompts.
