Unlike many high-energy activities that are designed to put people under pressure and get their hearts pumping, this card game for groups aims to spark conversation over competition.
Saje Wellness' 'Unplug to Connect' is branded as a limited-edition "candlelight game" that's sold with a stone candle diffuser, two diffuser blends and soy wax tea lights. The 100-question card game itself comes in a box labeled "#nofilter" and inspires people to authentically connect to one another without distractions.
While there are plenty of digital detox retreats that many people choose to embark upon as a way to find a break from technology in nature, there are also products like these that offer entertainment, and also encourage people to set down their screens to make face-to-face connections with the people in front of them who matter.
