#DREAMPHONE is a collaborative work made by Emily Simpson and Jade Blood.

#DREAMPHONE is a parody of the popular 90s board game Dream Phone, and is a legit playable game. The og dream phone was p much based around finding ur self a dream boi. Setting the standards high for young women's aspirations ever since 🙋 #DREAMPHONE is a dream for the modern millennial femme-identifying, forget the Bois we now dream in avocado's. The game is a critique of our uncertain social and political economic timez, where we might not get the boy but we will deffoo get an unpaid internship! 🙌

The game is portable and everyone uses their phone to play. The board itself is screen printed and comes in a pizza box, snacks are provided to players and conversation generated around the game has been known to start mini feminist revolts.
