Five years ago, when COVID-19 shut down the world, Fallon Schlossman found herself living on the Jersey Shore with her mom and fraternizing exclusively with her mom's friends. The podcast producer had seemingly endless time on her hands to do what a lot of people did during the heights of the pandemic, which was drink wine, play games, and plan.
"I spent three months developing my birthday party for all my sixty-plus neighbors, and I decided to create a kind of interactive game around drinking wine," Schlossman recalled. "It started at 2 p.m., and by 10 p.m. at night my 90-year-old neighbor was still at the house and I was like, 'Holy shit I think I have something here.'"
