A NOTE FROM OUR FOUNDER
My journey with post-pandemic loneliness inspired me to create tools that really work to get us talking and keep us close. Off The Record is dedicated to making it easy for anyone to start and carry thoughtful, intentional conversations. I hope that our game will become your go-to social companion, build strong conversational habits, and reinforce that you do in fact have lots to talk about. That's what it did for me!
Hugs,
Kate
(Founder & CEO)
It all began with a question...
Hi! I'm Kate, the founder of Off The Record. And I love a good conversation.
Growing up, I was a social butterfly, a chatterbox, the girl who could talk to a wall. Making friends was easy breezy!
As I got older, I started to feel a shift. Conversations were rarely going beyond work or surface-level celebrity gossip. I noticed the other person was also itching to talk about something more interesting, but was either too nervous or didn't know how to make the transition.
I began to wonder...despite spending a lot of time around people, how well do we actually know each other?
Then COVID-19 brought in-person interactions to a total standstill, giving me the perfect opportunity to solve the pandemic of superficial conversations. How can we improve our overall happiness by feeling more connected to the people in our lives?
This led to me to create Off The Record. I developed the game to help my friends and me build strong conversational habits by asking better questions, fueling more enjoyable, unforgettable interactions. Now, Off The Record is in hundreds of pockets, handbags, and homes around the world!
I hope you'll enjoy it too!
Kate, Founder & CEO
