Time for Reality — Put aside your phone and focus on what is real.

Time for Reality is an app/"game" where the main objective is to not use your phone for that time the game is still ongoing. You can play a game either individually or with groups of people (e.g. friends, family, colleagues).

Set penalities for one another as everyone pledges to not use their phone when doing a particular activity (e.g. eating).

Very interesting concept. Initially i dreaded the idea of having to pay up just for using my own phone, but my friends and i grew into it. We socialized more and also look forwarded to seeing which scapegoat had to succumb to the temptation of using their phones. Perfect for nights out or a drink at a bar, stops people from using their phone and indulge in more meaningful conversations overnight. Didn't expect that. Now and then i managed to get free drinks due to a particular friend using their phone constantly and hiking up their offenses :P Changes the expectations of a night's out, recommended to give it a shot!

Pros:

Greater quality of time spent with family and friends

Opportunity to get treats and money from people who succumb to using their phone

Cons:

Having to pay up as a punishment for using phone
