Storyline
After matching on the friend-finding app, Icebreaker, four strangers meet-up to play the app's board game and uncover much more than they bargained for.
Roles
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | Vital | Male 27 - 37 Years old |
Description A lonely home-based software engineer looking to connect beyond the four walls of his home. Regardless of his occasional social-awkwardness, Vital loves planning events -- to the point of creating extensive itineraries for intimate dinner parties. Sometimes, this backfires, though, as Vital can get too wrapped up the night’s agenda that he forgets the purpose of hosting in the first place: to foster lasting friendships. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | Rena | Female 27 - 37 Years old |
Description A financial advisor who first signed up for Icebreaker in order to grow her network. A self-proclaimed open book, Rena’s boisterous yet sincere nature allows her to easily establish new friendships. She quickly became addicted to the thrill of meeting an endless stream of new people via the app and she now tries to attend in-person meet-ups as often as possible. Rena could have thousands of friends and it would still never be enough. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | Liz | Female 27 - 37 Years old |
Description A family lawyer new to Icebreaker, Liz is seeking to expand her small friend circle and hobbies. Polite and considerate, she’s a sweetheart who sometimes apologizes too much. First impressions of Liz are often shy, reserved and modest -- until you get to know her and she reveals her outgoing, athletic and darkly humorous side. A thrill-seeker by nature, she’s recently been experiencing panic attacks brought on by stressful situations. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | Stefan | Male 27 - 37 Years old |
Description A DoorDash driver with a healthy lack of patience, Stefan uses Icebreaker like a speed-dating app -- instant connections only or he moves on. Trying to relive the athletic, sports-oriented activities he enjoyed in college often determines the in-person Icebreaker meet-ups he attends. Stefan's honest and direct nature sometimes comes across as confrontational or insensitive -- but he's working on that. | ||
