Game night just got personal.
The reviews are in! And they're stellar!
We reached the big 5-0 reviews on Amazon and all 50 reviewers gave us 5 stars! We feel like the Meryl Streep of party games!
We're so excited that we went on wordcloud.com, entered the text from all the reviews...and this is the result.
No surprise that GAME is the largest word but we love that FRIENDS and FUN are big, too, because that's what it's all about!

Amazon reviews make a HUGE difference for an indie game like ours so THANK YOU to everyone who's left one.
And if you've played YDKML but haven't reviewed it, what are you waiting for? Leaving 5-star reviews actually burns calories!

Our mission is to save the world...
one mildly embarrassing story at a time.

Don't know if you've noticed... but things are a little intense out in the world right now and it seems like we're more divided than ever. Are we just too different to get along?
We say NO WAY! You Don't Know My Life! is the game about the things we all share. Sure, the details may be different...but we all have hopes, we all have fears, we all have mortifying things that happened to us when we were 13. And we all have STORIES. So grab a pencil and join in... you already have all the answers! |
How the game works:
You made it happen.
|
This game would not be possible without the help and pre-orders of our amazing community of friends, family, and players. Together we can save the world... one mildly embarrassing story at a time. Your order helps us to pay our costs, spread the word, and make our YOU DON'T KNOW MY LIFE! dream a reality. Buy the game on Amazon, or check out our t-shirts and other fun products Here. |
Funny you should ask.
Questions designed to get the story.
The questions in YOU DON'T KNOW MY LIFE! have roots in journalism so they're not just meant to make you smile or think or blush...they're designed to GET THE STORY. One player called them "a fishing line to these deep-seated memories you end up pulling out of nowhere."
We love that. A fishing line is the perfect metaphor because in this game, you never know what you'll reel in next.
