When friend groups lose the essence of playfulness despite still gathering

Our friend group used to have these amazing game nights but now everyone just scrolls their phones between turns and someone said 'this doesn't feel playful anymore' and we all went quiet. We're all there, going through the motions, but something essential about play has disappeared and we don't know what it was or how to get it back.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

You're performing the activities of play while missing whatever made those activities truly playful.
