## What is GIST?

GIST is a social game about imagination, stories, and the connections hiding between people.

Look at an image. Create an association. Tell your story. Then see how others interpret it.

There is no single correct answer. The fun comes from discovering how differently people can see the same thing — and sometimes how surprisingly similar their thoughts can be.

HOW TO PLAY

• Choose an image that inspires you.
• Create a story, thought, phrase, or association.
• Let the other players interpret your choice.
• Vote for the connection that feels right.
• Reveal the results and discover what everyone was thinking.

PLAY TOGETHER

Play with friends, family, or people you have just met.

GIST is designed for shared moments — whether you're sitting around the same table or playing together online.

EVERY IMAGE TELLS A DIFFERENT STORY

GIST uses surreal, atmospheric artwork designed to leave room for interpretation.

A single image can mean completely different things to different people.

A memory.
A feeling.
A joke.
A strange idea.
Something you can't quite explain.

That's the point.

NO RIGHT ANSWERS

GIST isn't about knowing the most facts or being the fastest player.

It's about understanding people.

The more unexpected the connection, the more interesting the story becomes.

Look closer.
Think differently.
Find the GIST.
