It’s time to play Fun Facts October 2025 General Conference! If you don’t know what that is, that is the semi-annual conference for members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It is a time when we get to hear people called by God to lead the members of the Church, as well as anyone else. They testify of Jesus Christ and preach to us about how to be better disciples of Jesus Christ. This is held and livestreamed every six months, the first weekend of every April and October. So we just had a conference over a week ago. It’s like the Sabbath Day on steroids, spread out over two days. I aim to make it a time of feasting spiritually and physically. More thoughts about that are here.

OK, so that’s about Conference. Now let’s talk about the Fun Facts game. This is a mass-marketed tabletop game that I love. You can read my review of it here. I love it because it generates conversation, laughs, and smiles as people connect over random topics as they answer questions. Every answer is a number. It’s not so much a trivia game, as it is a co-operative game to see if you as a team can figure things out to arrange your number answers in order. If you need the rules go here. After reading the rules, you can probably come up with your own DIY game using paper and pens or mini-white boards and dry erase markers, as well as a stack of question cards.

I like to provide customized Fun Facts questions related to General Conference talks. You can read my questions for October 2024 GC here, and April 2025 GC here.
