Tired of surface talk?

  • This listening game is designed to ignite engaging and meaningful conversations in any social setting.

  • Challenge yourself to listen and respond with intriguing follow-up questions.

  • Go beyond casual social settings and foster connections with family, colleagues, neighbors, and even people we've known for years but only on the surface.

Don’t just talk— listen.

It's a game-like gathering centered around Inquisitive Listening – a guided, interactive approach to conversations that leads to surprising insights, new perspectives, and even inspiration.

Using Over Coffee, a card deck created by Gena Scurry, participants engage in storytelling and inquisitive listening to deepen connections with others.

What is Over Coffee?

How it Works

Storytelling:

Each participant draws from Over Coffee, a card deck created by Gena Scurry, featuring 140 thought-provoking prompts. With a chosen prompt, each person shares a personal story.

Curious Follow-Up:

The group then takes turns crafting follow-up questions using one of their verb cards, encouraging everyone to dig deeper and ask questions that go beyond the ordinary.

Share the Spotlight:

After exploring one person’s story, the focus shifts to another participant, giving everyone the opportunity to share their own story and engage in meaningful conversation.

How this game is different: Draw a verb

  • 100 verb cards will challenge you to move beyond automatic questions and explore the uncharted territories of curiosity.

  • Other conversation games focus on a “question and answer” format, but Over Coffee pushes the conversation with novel questions created by you.

  • Every time you play the game, you’re experiencing something new!
