What brings us together
Gathering people together is at the heart of our name.
It starts with a simple idea: the moments we share with the people we love are the ones that matter most. Our games are a chance to reconnect, work together, surprise each other and strengthen your bond.
We design every game as a break from the everyday, turning an ordinary evening into something memorable. Our mission is to bring people together, spark joy and remind us that time together is the greatest gift of all.
We help couples, families and friends enjoy quality time away from screens, rediscover their connection, make special memories and share a little fun and laughter.
Meet the creators
We're Caroline and Pierre, two school sweethearts who met almost 15 years ago.
We're travellers and entrepreneurs, and two years ago we became parents to a wonderful little boy. Like many parents, we sometimes felt ourselves drifting apart amid the daily routine, exhaustion and sleepless nights.
Before becoming parents, we'd made ourselves one promise: to keep making our relationship a priority, because it is the foundation of our family. That promise inspired Play To Gather: games that bring people closer, spark surprises and laughter, and help them reconnect at home.
We want to help you turn an ordinary evening into an extraordinary memory and rediscover the joy of being fully present with each other.

A windswept old Scottish manor… a mysterious death never solved… a manuscript lost for over a century.
Will you dare to cross the threshold of MacLeod Manor and confront its dark secrets?
You thought you'd spend an original weekend in a Scottish manor steeped in history. But as soon as you arrive, Fiona MacLeod, the estate's heiress, draws you into a chilling tale: her grandmother, Lady MacLeod, was found dead one stormy night in her library. Officially, it was an accident. Unofficially, it was an unsolved murder.
Added to this tragedy is another mystery: the theft of a precious manuscript whose contents no one has ever been able to reveal. Since then, the shadows of the past haunt the estate, and the MacLeod name remains tainted by infamy. Your mission? To uncover the truth about the murder that struck the manor.
But beware: if midnight strikes before your investigation is complete, the manor doors will close forever…
