Play Over Coffee:
Where Curiosity Sparks Connection

Tired of the same old boring small talk?
Step into a space where curiosity and inspiration take center stage.

Whether you're looking to laugh, reflect, or learn something new, this is where genuine dialogue begins—and meaningful listening happens.

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!
