Why quality time matters more than ever and how to create it

In a world filled with smartphones, busy schedules, and endless distractions, true quality time is becoming increasingly rare. The importance of sharing valuable moments together is greater than ever. Time spend together isn’t about how quantity, but quality.

At Owner Unknown, we believe that real connection is the foundation of lasting memories. Inspired by this belief, we started developing our at-home escape room games: To make time spend with loved ones more meaningful.

Plan moments intentionally

Spontaneous pans are wonderful, but in a busy life, it often works better to intentionally make time for each other. Block moments in your calendar, just as you would for work or other obligations. Quality time only becomes truly meaningful when everyone is involved and having fun. Pick activities that match everyone’s interests. This could be something bigger like a day out, or something simple like cooking together.

Whatever you choose, the key is that everyone actively participates and enjoys the moment. This was also one of our key focuses when developing our very first escape game, The Stalker. Playing an exciting game creates atmosphere and encourages teamwork. It’s different than a standard movie night, helping you create lasting memories.

Don’t make it a moment, make it an experience

A simple evening can become special with just a little extra effort. Think of a homemade three-course dinner, a themed board game night, or an at-home escape room adventure with a thrilling storyline. Quality time is about more than just being in the same place at the same time. By turning the evening into an experience, the memory will last much longer. That way, they become tangible memories to cherish for years to come.

So call your sibling, text that friend or reach out to someone you miss. It’s time to create some unforgettable memories!
