Sip, Chat, and Call the Shots: 21SEEDS & Danielle Robay’s Game-Changing Collab

March 10, 2025

Okay, buckle up because we’re about to get into something super fun, delicious, and, dare I say, revolutionary. Enter Shot Callers, the brainchild of 21SEEDS (that fabulous female-founded tequila brand that’s been changing the game) and Danielle Robay, the media maven behind The Bright Side and Question Everything. Launching in celebration of Women’s History Month, this game is all about women supporting women, having hilarious conversations, and sipping on some effortlessly fabulous cocktails. And let’s be real, what’s a better way to celebrate than with tequila and a game that forces you to spill the tea?

21SEEDS has always been about bringing people together through their infused tequilas—Valencia Orange, Cucumber Jalapeño, and Grapefruit Hibiscus. Oh, did I mention I AM OBSESSED and it’s the ONLY tequila I drink, gift and share?!

Now, they’ve taken it to the next level by collaborating with Robay to create Shot Callers, a card game that’s going to make your next girls’ night next level. Inspired by the game Robay already plays with her A-list podcast guests, Shot Callers is full of bold, hilarious prompts that’ll spark deep convos, belly laughs, and connections you didn’t even know you needed.

As we all know, time spent with friends is essential therapy. According to a OnePoll study, 72% of Americans agree that friends are like the best kind of therapists, and let’s be honest—games are the perfect prescription for any hangover. Whether you’re bonding over a margarita or just enjoying some downtime, this game is the perfect companion to any evening of fun. The best part? It’s all about making meaningful memories while sipping on those amazing 21SEEDS cocktails. Can I get a cheers to that?

Each of the 49 prompts in the Shot Callers deck is designed to get the conversation flowing, whether it’s answering juicy questions or sharing a laugh over ridiculous hypotheticals. Plus, it’s a whole vibe with those vibrant playing cards featuring the three killer tequila flavors—each color-coded to match the drink (as if we needed another reason to love it).

Danielle Robay, the ultimate shot-caller herself, says it best: “My whole career is based on harnessing the power of conversation through intriguing questions and elevating women in business. I’ve long loved 21SEEDS as a female-founded brand created to enjoy with friends. It was a no-brainer to partner on a game together to bring laughter, discussion, and fun to a night with effortless cocktails.” Amen, Danielle. Amen.

So, grab your besties, your favorite tequila cocktail, and get ready to call the shots—because this game is as much about forging lasting friendships as it is about laughing your butt off. Whether you’re answering prompts like “What’s your wildest dream job?” or “What’s the one thing you refuse to negotiate on in life?” (spoiler alert—there’s no right answer, just good vibes), Shot Callers is here to help you navigate those meaningful moments.

In short, this isn’t just a card game—it’s a celebration of womanhood, tequila, and friendship. And I’m here for it.
