The game that's good for your family and your relationships. It strengthens bonds, gets teenagers talking, gently reveals parents and grandparents, and touches close friends.
159 questions to shed light on the connections between those who love each other without (sometimes) daring to say it.
Do you find that your family doesn't talk enough?
Or not good enough?
That teenagers stay in their rooms a little too much? Or that you don't really know that much about your parents? And what about your grandparents?
Do you also feel that your friendships have remained confined, or are even disintegrating? That you haven't necessarily shared the highlights of your life with your loved ones?
I came to the same conclusion.
So, yes, Takattak is great for setting limits and not letting people walk all over you, but before that, it's important to consolidate your cell. Family and friends.
So I created Skinooly, to find what connects us. At first, it was just for my family. To get my children, who don't say much, their dad, who doesn't say anything at all, and my mom, who talks a lot, to talk... but what do children remember about their grandparents' lives?
By asking specific, targeted questions, such as "tell us about the happiest memory of your youth", "tell us about your favorite toy when you were a child", "what qualities do we have in common?" or even, "tell us about your first kiss... or your worst night out", tongues are loosened, we laugh a lot (Grandma's first kiss is great!), and we discover each other when we thought we knew each other so well.
After many family games (we're always coming up with questions, it never stops!), games with friends (gosh, it works too!) and test games with other friends and families, we decided to share the game. Shall we launch it? Let's launch it!
Here we go! Skinooly is now available, and I'm actually very moved. It's a very personal game that touches me deeply. When I was designing it, imagining the questions to ask, I often had tears in my eyes. (Tears of joy, of course...)
Feel free to share your games and experiences. There's a "testimonial" section on the first page that you can fill in without registering, even with a nickname. I'm really looking forward to reading your impressions.

Skinooly, the game that gets even teenagers talking!
