Hey Influencers!

From yesterday's discussions, we've decided one of the ways to help get people talking is to create specified lists of all sorts of items for different groups of people who may be in isolation. These can be from any/every category on Smashbomb - so we want to hear your ideas for what items should be put in these lists!

1. Individuals
2. Couples
3. Young Families
4. Older Families
5. Teens
6. Larger Groups/Families (6+ People)

Not sure I could add much new to what has been said but for individuals and couples, seasonal tv shows (I.e. the traditional 22 episode season) as well as mini series events. People could come up with quiz questions for each episode of a show that you could search for.
