The Board Game Bringing People Closer

The Mission Behind Test Your Connection

In a world that often feels disconnected, two sisters from Minnesota set out to change how people relate to one another. Their answer was a board game. Test Your Connection began with a simple belief: the strongest relationships are built through conversation, one fun question at a time.

The founders of Test Your Connection designed the game around a single, powerful idea. They noticed that people crave closeness but rarely make space for it. Between busy schedules and endless notifications, genuine conversation had become rare. So the sisters decided to become first-time game designers and created something that would bring people back to the table.

The concept was refreshingly simple. Players pair up, play by answering fun questions about themselves and their teammates, and prove just how well they truly know each other. Every answer uncovers a new story. Every round creates a new memory. Every game strengthens the bond between the people playing. The tagline captures it perfectly: "Pair, Play & Prove It!"

More Than a Game

Many board games focus on winning, strategy, or trivia. Test Your Connection takes a different path. It is designed to do more than entertain.

It helps people create meaningful moments together. The questions spark laughter, storytelling, and honest conversation, so players leave the table feeling closer than when they sat down.

The game is easy to love and easy to learn. Players can pick it up in about five minutes, finish a round in fifteen to thirty minutes, and enjoy it from age ten and up. That accessibility makes it a natural fit for family game nights, parties, classrooms, team-building events, and gatherings with friends. It belongs anywhere people want to reconnect.

The energy it creates speaks for itself. "It feels good to beat couples who have been together for over a decade or married. It makes them sweat!" said Julie L., one of the game's earliest players. Another player, Dara I., described the intensity of a competitive night: "My friends are super competitive, every round felt like a game show. We were all shouting 'THINK LIKE ME!' by the end." There are no such things as losers in this game as everyone wins by learning more about each other.

A Movement Powered by People

What truly sets Test Your Connection apart is its community. The sisters are not simply building a board game. They are building a movement of #Connectors who believe that one conversation can change a relationship. Through the #ConnectorNetwork, players do more than play. They help shape the game's future.

The game belongs to its community. In this way, players become contributors, and the experience continues to grow with the people who love it most. #Connectors can submit their own questions for the #PoweredByPeople expansion packs. Some even have the opportunity to be illustrated as characters within the game itself. Some get to be featured on the packaging! What’s a game without its people? This is the heart of the #PoweredByPeople philosophy. 

As a women and minority-owned venture, Test Your Connection carries a mission that reaches beyond entertainment. The founders believe that stronger relationships create stronger families, stronger friendships, stronger teams, and ultimately stronger communities. Their goal is to make the game a tradition at game nights, holidays, celebrations, workplaces, and communities around the world.

The Road Ahead

The next chapter is already taking shape. Test Your Connection will launch on Kickstarter in October 2026, giving #Connectors the chance to pre-order and become part of the story from the very beginning. Backers will find opportunities to feature their name, submit a game question, or even see their illustration included on packaging. Soft production targets are set for April 2027, and the team continues to appear at conventions and events to share the experience in person.

For the founders, every milestone reflects the same purpose that started it all. It is about helping people feel seen, heard, and understood. The vision is clear and human: strengthen connections and build networks through fun gameplay and meaningful conversations. Anywhere, anytime.

Test Your Connection proves that a single question can open a door. It can turn a quiet evening into a memory, a casual gathering into a tradition, and strangers into friends. In a time when so much pulls people apart, this game gently pulls them back together.

Why It Matters Now

The genius of Test Your Connection lies in its simplicity. It does not ask players to master complicated rules or memorize facts. It asks them to pay attention to one another. That focus on people, rather than points, is what makes the experience feel different long after the final round.

Families discover new stories about grandparents. Coworkers see each other in a new light. Old friends realize how much they still have to learn. Teachers and students build safe and supportive grounds. The competition stays lively, the laughter stays loud, and the connection stays real. When the game ends, the relationships are stronger than when it began. That is the outcome the founders set out to create, and it is what keeps players coming back.
