Family red flags and green flags
Baro : Family is like the weather: you don’t pick it, but you end up loving it.
Sunday lunch, group chat, holidays together: family has its rituals and little signals. These situations come from our “Red flag or Green flag?” game.

Frequently asked questions
What is a red flag?
A little warning sign in someone’s behaviour. A green flag is the opposite: a reassuring sign. Here, we laugh about it, without judging anyone.
Who decides the verdict?
Our mascots give their take, but yours counts just as much. Some situations stay “up for debate”: that’s the whole point of playing with someone.
