MEET PAOLA

Where Grin & Tell came to life

I'm Paola, a college student who turned a holiday hobby into Grin & Tell. I made our games on paper for one reason: so families would put their phones down and actually look at each other.

Paper or phones, the idea never changes: every question is about your people, and someone goes home wearing the crown.
