hey diva! i'm ciara :]

just a girl who's on a life long mission to make up for covid ruining her 21st birthday

preGAME started by in 2019 as a way to laugh, attack and get drunk to save a buck. Just some broke college kids wanting an interactive way to keep our memories alive and resurface bad decisions from the archive. So, #priorities, instead of studying I was writing 'Drink If...' prompts on notecards to stock pile for the weekend pregame ahead.

thx to the art of adhd, I graduated with my BS in Graphic Communications and a double minor in Business Administration and nosiness from Clemson in 2021! The noisiness helped me compile the juicy details onto the 'Drink If' cards for the karma of having to drink about it come the weekend.

'Drink If' was only the start. Now, 2026 preGAMEbyci is all that a more. With over 50 games to help enhance any vibe, curate deeper connections, and most importantly, laugh until we cry.

So we like to say let's get tipsy and stay whimsy! check em out!

ever since I was a kid

I was always looking to create. Messing with scraps of whatever I had laying around the house, turning them into something I could show and tell. Fast forward to adulthood, nothing's changed. Everything I mess with turns into some sort of prompt in the games and goodies I create. The good, the bad, the ugly, it's a form of therapy to me. And this act of show and tell is my favorite yet!

fun fact: penny the penguin (cardboard bones & duct tape skin) doubled as storage. there was an opening on the back that I could crawl into, so I'd hide in there all the time. #Hide&SeekGamerGirland her head was attached with velcro so you could decapitate her.

my child! TUP

Ever since those weekends of exposing my friends, I knew I needed a portable version to ensure the juicy conversations were always accessible. And 6 years later, we finally have a 500 card box that does just that.

TUP revives a dwindling conversation, resurfaces iconic memories, and helps bond people who may not have much in common.

Start with an innocent 'TEA' card then ease into seeing what people do STARTING WITH THE BLUE 'Drink If' cards. then, once you get buzzin', you'll figure out who be fuckin'. (pick an X card to see what i mean LOL)

So, If you're someone that loves a reaction, you've come to the right pregame.

fun fact: I bought a house out of wedlock (hey don't do that!) but after we broke up, I used my half of the down payment money to start the business of my dreams (buy TUP)

check it out!

haha now u have to be my friend!

Call your mom and ask if we can hang soon! I do pop up shops all the time & I post those whereabouts on insta @pregame.byci

Can't wait to meet you and see what cards we (trauma?) bond over hehehehe
