“Surprising, intriguing, fun, safe. Turn off the TV and play! Rediscover your family and friends. We took turns to take a card and just went with whatever conversation arose from the question. I'm still puzzling over why it seemed to open up more surprising responses than the normal run of conversation but it did." David McAra
“We played On Q on New Year’s Eve and we totally love it. Everyone thought it was fantastic, in fact! What a GREAT idea. I'd say that it definitely has a broad appeal…” L.Zibarras, C.Psychol
“At the start of a six-month course, which mixes face-to-face workshops with remote group work, we wanted to get people networking and breaking ice fast – within and between their ‘project groups’…...I’d come across On Q before, because the AMED Council has been using it to get to know each other better in on-line conversations. I ordered a set. It comes in a reused video box, very neat!
…. I wasn’t sure if people would react positively to having their networking structured in this way. I needn’t have worried – the buzz in the room was immediate and people carried on asking their questions in other situations during the 24 hour workshop.”
Penny Walker, Facilitating change for sustainability.

"On Q is an excellent way to stimulate discussion. It helps players learn about each other within a comfortable atmosphere, and it is easy to adapt the game to a variety of settings.”
Prof. Anthony J. Evans, ESCP Europe Business School
“We had just finished an intense 3-day training session with our external partner organisations, and I wanted to find a way during our ‘team day’ to connect on a more personal level rather than simply as colleagues. I had scheduled 1 hour to play On Q but in the end we played for more than 2½ hours, because no one wanted to stop.
With people from Australia, Brazil, Burkina Faso, France, India, and England On Q was fantastic at facilitating a deep understanding of where we all came from, what we all dreamed of, and what we all cared about.
On Q did exactly what I was hoping it would do, and more. In the short time available the questions and method of playing brought laughter to the room as well as empathy and understanding for each others stories.”
Lise Melvin, Consultant, Sustainability and Multi-Stakeholder Processes
“We played the game just for the joy of storytelling around the fire. We played the competitive version in teams. Sometimes the points mattered and sometimes the story was just so interesting that a whole new conversation evolved until we pulled ourselves back to the ‘competition.’”
