About Us

What is Aristorators?
Aristorators is encouraging people to take part in meaningful debates about meaningless questions.
How is Aristorators?
Aristorators is trying to encourage people to ensure debates are meaningful by doing the following:
- A party game for four or more people; and
- Related online comedy content.
Why is Aristorators?
Aristorators believes that the quality of pubic discourse is lacking. The world needs to explore ideas without attack.
Our attempt to contribute is to focus on how to discuss things. We do this by asking questions so meaningless that nobody could possibly get upset on the content. This allows focus on the method.
We also really wanted a party game that could be:
- played by four or more people,
- engaging throughout,
- funny for all,
- not based on bad taste, and
- requiring some level of thinking.
Where is Aristorators?
Game:
- Print and play free download is here.
- Monthly MeetUp Group for Amsterdam is available here.
Social Media:
For in-depth (45-120 second) videos exploring debating skills, meaningless questions, or the game itself.
For short (8-25 second) videos showing micro-opinions on meaningless questions.
For our attempts at getting professionals to remove the bug from their bottom and offer their expertise.

New social media content is dropped daily, until we can’t afford to do it anymore.
