Pandora’s box is a game where you write questions anonymously and then take turns reading and answering them. We love this game since it breaks the ice and lets you ask difficult questions without taking the heat for it… We (three 19 year olds from Sweden) created this app to make the game quicker and 100% anonymous. If you try it you won’t be disappointed :) https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
