New Friends
Make “how do you know everyone?” the last boring question.
A 20-card round for people with no shared history yet. It starts easy, earns a little openness and ends with the opinions that create an inside joke.
A deliberate progression
Warm Up. Open Up. Go Off.
Random lists often ask too much too soon. When New Friends is selected on its own, Icebreak orders the round in three stages and shows the current stage on screen.
- 01Warm UpSeven easy votes and shared experiences.
- 02Open UpSeven preferences that invite a follow-up.
- 03Go OffSix stronger opinions once the room clicks.

Questions that make room for a story.
The prompt starts the interaction, but the follow-up is the point. Each format gives everyone an easy way to answer before anyone has to improvise.
- Most likely to turn small talk into a great story
- Never have I ever arrived at an event where I knew nobody
- Hot take: being curious is more attractive than being impressive
- Would you rather leave tonight with a new plan or a new inside joke
Connection without forced vulnerability
Anyone can pass. Good questions create permission to talk, not pressure to disclose something personal.
