A Gamehanger: Connecting Through Play

Recess goes beyond mere recreation; it stands as a transformative force in adult socialization. In an era dominated by digital interactions, traditional avenues for meeting people often fall short, leaving millions yearning for meaningful connections. Recent data commissioned by Cigna reveals a shocking truth: over half of U.S. adults (58%) experience clinical loneliness.

 

This is further intensified by limited opportunities for socializing beyond traditional avenues such as bars, sports, or online platforms. Increasing remote work environments as well as increased integration of social media further contributes to this challenge. Recess Games provides a unique, in-person platform that breaks down barriers to modern adult socialization.

 

In alignment with an 85-year research study by Harvard, which identifies social fitness through positive relationships as the top contributor to a happier, healthier life, the essence of our approach lies in promoting social engagement in an organic manner—free from the small talk and distractions of phones. Recess encourages adults to build relationships through play, harking back to the original playground connections formed in childhood.
