Game 101

Your Mother’s Hometown

Where It All Begins

The game's question

Read the question aloud and take all the time you need.

Everyone comes from somewhere: a city, a small town, a place with its own words, dishes, and songs. Your mother grew up somewhere too, and chances are she talked about it in her own way—maybe you could even hear it when she spoke. Tell each other: what town or what place did your mother come from?

A story to tell—every answer is welcome

Need a hint?

Ask what she brought with her from there: words, recipes, songs, a way of speaking. If things go quiet, just listen—there’s no need to ask more.

Why this game : Where the family comes from is the first chapter of its story—and here, the one who knows it gets to pass it on.
