Honestly Now, a Q&A social game, has raised an undisclosed round of seed funding led by Golden Seeds and Canrock Ventures.

Honestly Now is a Q&A social game aimed to help women ages 30 to 50 years of age make better personal decisions, together. The brainchild of Tereza Nemessanyi, Honestly Now’s platform wants to transform real-life tricky questions into conversations.

Players, who sign in using Facebook, can choose to keep questions private with friends, or share queries anonymously inside the site’s community. Users who engage on the site more and answer questions routinely are characterized as pros, and you can also see which of your Facebook friends are asking questions on the platform.

The interface is fairly simple, but one improvement could be made in the discovery of questions and answers on the platform. Honestly Now faces competition from Jig and Opinionaided.
