Summary
Now, I hastily swipe past instead. Yet even quick fingers haven't stopped me noticing the prevalence of a curious little card game with a distinctive red and white design.
Launched by model Koreen Odiney in 2018, the game requires participants to ask each other a range of questions, organized in three tiers.
Take 36 Questions That Lead to Love, a quiz I became obsessed with for a while.
Originally part of a 1997 psychological study of intimacy, 36 Questions gained popular appeal in 2015 after a viral first-person piece published in the New York Times's famed Modern Love column.
The concept is the same as WRNS: 36 questions of increasing intensity, designed to create an immediate connection.
Just spat out of university and longing to unlock a lonely city's secrets, I adopted 36 Questions as a party game.
I would be ringmaster-multiple players in a game designed for two people meant a moderator was required to direct questions.
