Meet Katarina Terentieva, the driving force behind Off The Record. Katarina embarked on this incredible journey as she boldly confronted her own fears of emotional intimacy in social settings. But here's the kicker: she wasn't just starting from scratch. With a background as a creative director, she'd already been weaving the magic of meaningful connections in her career (using these exact questions!).
So, what led her to found Off The Record, you ask? It was a simple, yet profound mission – to bridge the gaps between people, uniting them through genuine, authentic bonds. Katarina crafted a one-of-a-kind tool, the very first of its kind, designed to empower individuals on their path to building true connections with themselves and the world around them.
The Important Questions
How do I play the game?
Draw a card. Each card contains two questions. Start by asking the top question first. Then, follow up with the question bellow to deepen the conversation.
We recommend pairing the game with an open-mind, active listening, and a respect for different opinions. The rest is up to you!
Here are our favorite ways to ✨spice✨ things up:
1. If a player opts out of answering a question, they have to make a confession (the more "off the record," the better).
2. Playing in a bigger group? Try a "speed dating" approach. Everyone numbers off (half of the group become ones and the second half become twos). Pair everyone up, so that each pair has a one and a two. All ones draw a card and all twos will answer the questions. Put the timer on for 2 minutes. After time is up, pair up with someone else and repeat until all ones have chatted with all twos!
3. If a player opts out of answering a question, they have to complete a dare!
