OURS est. 2020 · rebranded with love
A love letter from the OURS archive

Before Ours Privacy…there was Ours Wellness.

Before we did privacy, OURS helped couples level up together with live Guides and at-home Roadmap Sessions. Couples called them “hot yoga, but for our relationship.” The company changed, but the love stuck around. So we dusted off the playbook and made three little games for you and your person, or your whole table.

Three games. One phone.

Pass the phone around. No accounts, no downloads, and nothing leaves your device.

Who's playing?
Two people, one phone, very cozy. 2–8 people around a dinner table. Work-safe prompts only.
1 From the OURS card deck

Cozy Cards

Draw a card and flip it, then talk it out. Decks go from easy warm-ups to big dreams, plus a few dares that might end in a 60-second hug.

Icebreakers, hot takes and would-you-rathers for the whole table. Flip a card, pass the phone, and learn who has the weirdest first job.

Finish My Sentence

One of you answers in secret and the other guesses. Find out who's a certified mind reader and who's lovingly clueless.

One person answers in secret and the next person guesses. A leaderboard decides who really knows the team.

3 From the Photobooth

Doodle Date

Same prompt, a ticking timer, two very different masterpieces. Reveal them side by side and keep the best one in a classic OURS photo frame.

Everyone draws the same prompt against the clock, then the table votes on a gallery of masterpieces. Framed keepsake included.

House rules

Straight from the original OURS FAQ, and still good advice.

Assume good intentions.Everyone's here because they like each other. That's the whole point.
Invite the fun.Laugh, tell bad jokes. Being a little silly makes it feel safer to talk.
Go all in.Answer for real. A little awkward is fine, and it's usually where the good stuff is.
Take breaks.Skip anything you like. Grab a snack and come back to it.

How we got here

The brand, the very beige look, the words that stuck, and the time The New York Times tried us out from bed.
