“I stumbled across Convokins and purchased them prior to sheltering-in-place/COVID-19. What a tremendous decision! Every night, my wife and our two children (10 and 8 years old) rotate who gets to pick the Convokin. The questions are thought provoking and appropriate for all ages, and spark discussion beyond the mundane, “How was your day?” that never works to get people talking. Summary: this is a tremendous idea and great product that has made our lives richer, so very grateful we have them to help us spend more quality time together.”
