The pair said they were motivated by what they saw as a “backwards culture” dominated by screen-time, where it can be difficult to approach strangers and talk to them.

“Their instant reaction is, oh, who is this weird person talking to me,” said Jacob.

Inspiration for the event came not only from the pair’s observations about smartphone usage, but from an idea already being developed in the Netherlands.

“We thought we’d get a group of friends together, try it out, and here we are; 50 plus people coming, all putting their phones away and engaging in genuine authentic conversation,” Ben said.
