Why people play Nakama

This is so innovative and inspiring, and the only thing I feel now is that I want to play this game with as many strangers as possible!

Zaineb Alamiry

An accessible game where you can have a personal and meaningful conversation in just a few steps to get to know each other better and on a deeper level.

Joachim de Bruijn

Steunpunt Zelfregie en Herstel - Experience Expert in Training/Intern

Nakama helps you get to know each other better with questions that range from lighthearted to personal. Because you choose together how deep you want to go, connection naturally emerges. Ideal for a first meeting or to seek more depth.
