We're here to help you strengthen your relationships through storytelling and play.
More than a card game.
OUR MINDSET
Do Tell™ brings people together and builds a sense of community, offering each player the opportunity to address subjects they may normally be too afraid to discuss. It’s a game that encourages vulnerability and reveals commonalities across groups and individuals, reminding us all that we aren’t on this journey through life alone.
Where It All Began
From Our Founder
I'm Nina Westbrook, a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and Founder of the Do Tell Conversation Card Game®.
Growing up in a vocal family, open communication was key, and few topics were off-limits. Those honest conversations gave me a sense of peace and sparked my passion for understanding others, leading to my career as a therapist. I believe the quickest way to connect is through exploration, and I'm excited to share the questions that have encouraged this over the years.
My hope is that Do Tell™ helps you deepen self-understanding, strengthen relationships, and reveal the wonderful parts of yourself.
With Gratitude,
Nina

Family Ice Breaker
My family and I came together for a weekend of family bonding and we loved using these cards to generate some meaningful conversations. Many of the topics would not have come up without the help of these cards and the topics allowed us to truly become vulnerable with one another while also being very entertained.

So Much to tell...
Do Tell has been an absolute joy and must for me and my community. I am a yoga teacher and wellness professional and have the privilege of working with a diverse range of students as I travel teach within the Equinox Fitness brand, corporate workshops, large events, and small intimate groups. Do tell conversation game is in my car, bag and luggage at all times. It has added a whole new dimension to our practice by encouraging meaningful conversations and keeping our connections.

Plenty of Laughs
We only got through 5 or 6 cards total but each one sparked different conversations, plenty of laughs, and an all around great dinner. I am going to bring it out any time we have company over so we talk about new and interesting things instead of the same old topics that end up dominating dinner time.
