A game where everybody wins! The Ungame can take us on a journey of amazing discoveries. Open to all ages – numbers are limited.
About the creator of The Ungame – a game of conversation which “fosters listening skills as well as self-expression”.
Rhea Zakich was forced not to speak for months after her doctor found polyps on her vocal cords. Although they were removed and she made a full recovery, the experience affected her: unable to speak for that long period, and afraid that the problem might return, she felt emotionally estranged from her family. This led her to the realization that, as she put it, “we all spend so much time talking… but we never really communicate.”
As a remedy, she decided to write down on paper cards a number of questions that she wanted to ask her husband and children. Some were light-hearted (“What do you like to do in your spare time?”), some serious and intimate (“If you could live your life over, what would you change?”). Before long, with nearly 200 cards on her hands, she realized that she could turn them into a sort of board game. After playing it with family, friends and neighbours a company was founded by someone whose family was dramatically changed by playing The Ungame. Sales have topped 4 million in more than 14 languages. The Ungame was the first non-competitive learning/communication game on the market and has been used in schools, churches, businesses, counselling centres, hospitals, and prisons, as well as in families and party settings.
FEE: $15. PLEASE BOOK.
