Flashback

Who You Know began at our family table in the 1970s, a post-Thanksgiving tradition that pulled everyone in once the plates were cleared. Year after year, we looked forward to it as much as the meal itself.

 

When my kids grew up, they carried it to their own friends, who kept asking where they could get a copy. That was the moment we knew the fun was too good to keep to ourselves.
 

So this truly is a family project. We built Who You Know because we believe the best moments happen when the phones go down and the room comes alive. No screens, no scrolling, just real people, real names, and the kind of laughter you remember long after the game is over.

 

We cannot wait to bring it to your table.
