Nostalgia

Childhood, cringe, and the good old days

How to play

Time travel for the whole room. These questions work scarily well across age gaps — everyone had a phase, everyone had a first heartbreak, and everyone owned something embarrassing.

Tap the card to draw a question and take turns answering. The deck holds all 30 questions and never repeats until it runs out — then shuffle to go again. Prefer to browse? The full list is below, and screenshotting it for the group chat is very much encouraged.
