Scenario

When friend groups outgrow their shared sense of play

Our friend group used to have game nights where we'd get competitive and ridiculous, but now when we hang out everyone is polite and asks about work and kids. Nobody wants to be the one who suggests something 'immature' but we all miss actually having fun instead of just catching up.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A group has collectively decided that maturity means abandoning joy, leaving everyone yearning for permission to be foolish again.
