A few years ago, when smartphone and social media are not that popular, the gatherings for friends and family are really like having a group of relatives or friends sitting together and chatting a lot. At that time, people had less distraction from outside during a gathering because of using less social media and relying less on instance responses and messages.

At present, people will not only bring but also use their phones during any friends and family gatherings. Their phones could be counted as participants as well because phones are everywhere, such as at the dining table. People are sort of having smartphone or digital devices addiction. They are sitting together while having little or even no communication, instead, merely doing their own things, i.e. using their own phones.

“Phone Stacking Game” is created to stop people from using their phones in a gathering.  People need to put their smartphones in the middle of the table at the beginning of the gathering and no one can use the phones throughout the entire gathering or meal, so that they can concentrate on chatting.
