Unlike many high-energy activities that are designed to put people under pressure and get their hearts pumping, this [card game for groups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/board) aims to spark conversation over competition.

Saje Wellness' 'Unplug to Connect' is branded as a limited-edition "candlelight game" that's sold with a [stone candle diffuser](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cosy-nights-collection), two diffuser blends and soy wax tea lights. The 100-question card game itself comes in a box labeled "#nofilter" and inspires people to authentically connect to one another without distractions.

While there are plenty of [digital detox retreats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spark-dating) that many people choose to embark upon as a way to find a break from technology in nature, there are also products like these that offer entertainment, and also encourage people to set down their screens to make face-to-face connections with the people in front of them who matter.
