"Thrilled to have done this with all my grandparents, and of course to have the recordings saved.”

— Aaron Siff-Scherr (Grandchild)

"The Interview Game is unique in how it literally has people 'seeing each other', using a one on one reciprocal interview format, on a level playing field of mutual curiosity between two people at a time. It fosters trust, sincerity, empathy, humor, vulnerability, and compassion to each other and to ourselves.”

— Betty Cannon, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist, President, Boulder Psychotherapy Institute (BPI)

“LOVED THE INTERVIEW GAME!!! THE QUESTIONS WERE WELL THOUGHT OUT AND PERTINENT. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN TO LEARN ABOUT THEIR PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS BACKGROUND BECAUSE IT EXPLAINS THEIR VALUES AND HOW THEY BROUGHT UP THEIR CHILDREN. IT WAS ALSO FUN TO INJECT A SENSE OF HUMOR IN OUR OWN CHILDREN'S BACKGROUND.”

— Marilyn Scherr, Grandmother

“It’s such a meaningful project and it got my 83 year old mom and daughter laughing and having a deep conversation. In all of of our family Zooms our kids sit mostly silent, not really knowing what to say to their grandparents and vice versa. (TIG) gives each of them a scaffold to build interesting conversation and share stories with each other. What a precious gift for each of them!”

— Gina Pell, Content Chief The What List

“I would do this with all of my grandchildren. It was so much fun!”

— Lina Williams, Grandmother

"This Hanukkah, with families keeping physically distant, The Interview GameTM brings everyone together and enables a fun, healthy transmission of culture. The value of passing down our stories to our children (vehigadetah l’vinkha) from generation to generation is central to Judaism and so this effort to make that more accessible is deeply resonant. The Interview Game is a lovely opportunity to celebrate the miracles of Hanukkah and family together."  

— Rabbi Michelle Dardashti Rabbi, Brown RISD Hillel

“The Interview Game has never been more important! It facilitates all the important stories, teachings, and love to pass from Dor l'Dor, generation to generation.”  

— Rabbi Dr. Tirzah Firestone, Ph.D. author of Wounds Into Wisdom

“The Interview Game is a heart-warming and fun way to share deeply with those we love!”

-Jia Gottlieb MD, Author of aah . . . The Pleasure Book

"In these difficult times, it's harder now to keep my family connected.  The Interview Game has brought us together across miles of distance and longing. Watching my daughters laugh and share stories with my mother-in-law touched me and made it feel like the holidays had arrived early in Spring. Easy to get going and fun for the family, I recommend it for anyone who is looking to create and preserve new memories with their loved ones. The Interview Game is an immeasurable way to expand time and close the distance between loved ones. Such a fun process and precious memory-keeper for our family…"

- Heather Pylant, MA, MFT, Marriage and Family Therapist at Two Wing Counseling.

“At Frasier, a retirement community in Boulder, CO, we were delighted to receive a generous Sponsorship of 100 free Interview Games for our residents to connect safely and have fun with friends and loved ones they cannot otherwise see. And for Thanksgiving and Christmas, we were excited to invite our entire community (independent and assisted living residents and also staff) to Live Frasier Community Embrace Events over Zoom, where we all came together safely for instructions and preparations. Then families went to private break out rooms where they could also record themselves engaging in vibrant, meaningful conversations that celebrate and foster bonds, traditions and love. The warm feelings and great memories will be cherished for years to come.”

-  Molly Briggs — Director of Community Life at FRASIER Retirement Community, Boulder

“I was happy to partake in the first Dairy Arts Center — Live Community Embrace Event on Zoom, to play ‘The Interview Game’ (a curated, fun, two way interview where players play both the roles of interviewer and interviewee). I got to play the game with my mother, and while we have a very healthy relationship and can talk about anything, the game had us learning things we never knew about each other while having a lot of fun. The most surprising and wonderful outcome was that, after the event ended, my mother called me and we continued our conversation for another hour! It was great to be a part of a community that values interconnectivity and strives to maintain close ties during the pandemic. A big bravo to the Dairy for this uplifting community offering. I highly recommend The ‘Interview Game.’ It is like a two way ’StoryCorps’ except it is less folks ‘writing’ their stories, and more folks engaging and opening up with each other while sharing feelings and memories. We are all missing family, friends and loved ones at this time, and this is a great opportunity to engage in fun, meaningful conversations that you can record and save as a cherished keepsake.”

-  Eric Hagen, Boulder

“I will recommend this to my friends. It was easy and fun and it made nana so happy!”

— Ava Williams, Granddaughter

“The Interview Game brings us together in a fun, heartfelt, and meaningful way, when Covid-19 would keep us apart.  Masterfully curated questions provide a structure for healthy curiosity about each other, and a safe space to share about ourselves.  TiG brings Family members, friends, cohorts and colleagues closer, and offers members of different nationalities, races, cultures, religions, and even political convictions, a unique opportunity to connect, build trust, learn about, recognize and appreciate each other, discover common ground and shared humanity. At the end of the day, we are all human beings who love, struggle, dream, grieve, and hope for a better future for us all. I am particularly inspired by the potential TIG offers for American Civilians to engage with and support our military, veteran, and emergency responder communities and their families.”  

-  Michelle L. Kaye, LPC: Founder & Executive Director of Operation Equine, Inc.

“When my son asked my father to describe a perfect day, my father said:  “Sitting here - talking with you right now” and  made all of our hearts burst with joy and surprise.  We could all feel the transformative power of this project and are eternally grateful.”

— Tamara Meneghini, Professor of theatre, movement and voice, mother and daughter

“A sure-fire bridge to cross the generation gap if there ever was one, the INTERVIEW is fuel for great conversation.”

— Corinne Joy Brown, award winning author

“As a psychotherapist based in a systems dynamics approach my work with individuals, couples, and families is largely about the dynamics of communication between people. I have found The Interview Game a brilliant tool for cultivating conversations that can provide profound openings for interpersonal and intergenerational relationships and it is just plain fun! The structure of The Interview Game brings out simple, playful, and powerful truths about us as loving and caring human beings. I am a huge fan!”

— Rex West, MA (Education & Psychology), LPC, Ground Counseling LLC

— Holli Berman, Cantorial Soloist Congregation Har HaShem, Boulder 

“The Interview Game offers a unique opportunity for Israelis and Palestinians to ‘see each other’, overcome years of mutual hatred and suspicion, and begin the process of healing and trust building,  on the basis of shared humanity, mutual recognition and respect.”

— Yaniv Sagee, Executive Director, Givat Haviva, The Center for a Shared Society

“It was fascinating… the magic happened.  The magic of the two people in the interview (my son and mother in law) seeing each other. But there’s another magic, and it’s the magic of the witness. What I got to witness is the two of them having a bond that they have never had before. And also an equality that they never had before, and I learned… about my husband, about her (mother in law), and it was really wonderful. So for me it was a really great gift. It was as though it created a holiday, a ritual. for the two players, but also for all around them. A celebration of the connection in the family. How special it was to witness this exchange!”

— Mari Brown, Writer, mother, transcendentalist, Daughter-in-law

“It was fascinating to see my mom communicating with my son she hasn’t with any of her own kids!   I learned things about her I never knew!  The depth of the conversation and the ease in which it flowed was incredible.  I wish I had done this with my grandparents!”

- Justin Smith, father and son.
