The Creators of Morbid Curiosity

Morbid Curiosity, and its younger sibling Memento Mori, are the creation of artist and therapist Kimberley Mead and her husband and punk rocker/historian James Young. Together they embarked on a way to explore death in a more playful and curious manner. Their creation explores the fascinating realm of death through trivia, laughter, story telling, and maybe a tear or two. Using skillfully crafted questions, players weave between trivia, culture, science, history, and personal experience to create a delightfully morbid game night.

More About James
James has a deep background in theatre, a masters in History, and is the front man for the Austin based Irish punk band Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead.
