- There is much more flexibility with digital.
- The idea that I’m thinking of closely ties to what is available in Paired.com
- But I’m more focused on the card game aspect and turning that into a lifelong game.
- The more people play it with certain people, the more personalized the experience becomes.
How can we get them to continue to use it?
- Get them to schedule a weekly or monthly time where they sit and play the game. Over that time leading to the game, we could ask them certain questions which would then be used in the game.
How to avoid failure
This idea could absolutely create bonding moments if executed right, but it sits in a tarpit because:
- Most people won’t keep playing unless the game is genuinely fun.
- Most people won’t trust a vault unless it’s 100% transparent.
- The overlap between “fun casual game” and “serious memory system” is narrow — easy to fall into uncanny valley.
If you pursue it: sell the game & experience, not the vault. Let the vault quietly exist as a delightful side-effect of play.
Competition
- There are several platforms that have daily questions like paired.com and sm others
- The thing is, these in some way just maintain relationships but they don’t strengthen them because you don’t go through experiences together; you just share information.
- There are definitely ways you can make the experience more intimate and memorable, but what I want to focus on is real-life interactions.
