How it all started
It all began around a decade ago in London with what we whimsically dubbed "Blackout Nights"—Once a week, we'd turn off all our tech and engage in actual real-life conversations. I know, weird, right?
Yes, we felt like Victorians at first, but then something strange happened—we started to enjoy not being glued to our devices.
This cherished practice resurfaced during a family campervan trip in Portugal, where an evening of shared questions reminded us of its importance.
Fuelled by these moments of genuine connection, I created BlackoutCards:
250 thought-provoking questions designed to bring your family closer.
Each card promises laughter, heartfelt discussion, and stronger bonds.
Helping families rediscover the joy of connection and create lasting memories,
one question at a time.

How it all started
Hey, I'm Stef, an ex-journalist turned content creator from London, and I'm the man behind these BlackoutCards.
It all began around a decade ago.
We dubbed them 'Blackout Nights'—once a week, we'd turn off all our tech and engage in actual real-life conversations.
I know, a bit weird, right?
Yes, we felt like confused Victorians at first, but then something strange happened—we started to enjoy not being glued to our devices.
Then life happened, we had kids, moved out of the city, and slowly forgot all about our little Blackout Night ritual.
That was until a family campervan road trip through Portugal, where we'd spend our evenings off screens, asking each other questions we'd written down during the day.
And that's when I had the idea.
When we got back to the UK, I decided to set to work creating a new game called BlackoutCards: The game would consist of hundreds of thought-provoking questions designed to bring families, friends, and couples closer.
Just like they did for us.
In a world dominated by screens, alerts, and notifications, I wanted to create something that felt like a throwback to a simpler time.
I honestly believe they are a necessary antidote to the complexity of today's hyper-connected world.
So, next time you find yourself reaching for your phone at dinner, why not reach for a BlackoutCard instead?
