We all know and dread the times when we're forced to play awkward ice breaker activities in large groups to "introduce ourselves." In new situations, I know the last thing any of us want to do is find an adjective that starts with the first letter of our name or tell each other random facts. This is where Know Your Crew comes in.
Created by Alison Bloom-Feshbach, Know Your Crew is a game/app that combines the self-knowledge of a Myers-Briggs personality test with the fun and social dynamic of a Buzzfeed Quiz. Realizing that conversations often stop when people take out their phones, Alison created KYC in hopes of being able to START conversations through interactions within the game, creating a game to play with groups of friends or new people.
The basic set up of the game is this:
By spinning the question wheel, you create a different 'type' of question each time, ranging from fill-in-the-blanks to 'caption this photo.' Once your question is selected, you send the question to your friends/group, writing your own answers. Once everyone has answered, you match your friends to their answers and see who you know best.
Being new on the market, the potential for KYC to impact people's lives by helping them feel more connected to friends and family is limitless, testing how well we know one another.
With the versatility to be a replacement for traditional ice breakers and a fun party game with friends, KYC is an exciting new way to not only learn more about each other, but to keep in touch, embracing our phone usage as something to keep us together instead of apart.
So grab some friends, download the app, and give it try! See how well you know YOUR crew.
