We created Actually Curious back in 2018 as a tool to fight the rising divisiveness issue in America. The game took off during the pandemic and the rise of attention to racial justice and mental health issues. Today, Actually Curious can be found at stores like Nordstroms, MadeWell, and Crate&Barrel and has been featured by lifestyle and wellness thought leaders like the New York Times, Oprah, and Refinery29.
We hope you get to play and pass it along. Welcome to the movement to spread empathy! 💓
