How to play
There’s no specific way to read these questions, but here are a few suggestions. Once a person has answered, feel free to discuss and to share your own answer. Enjoy!
PICK & ASK
Our favorite.
Draw a card, look at it, and choose someone to ask the question to. Discuss and share. The person who just answered the question draws another card. Repeat!
HOT SEAT
Do you really know each other?
One person draws a card and reads it out loud. Everyone else then guesses what that person’s answer would be. Whoever has the closest answer draws the next card.
LUCK OF THE DRAW
Leave it to chance.
Everyone draws one card. The person with the highest number on their card has to answer the question. If it’s tied, both players ask each other the questions on their respective cards.
IT’S UP TO YOU
Make up your own game!
If a structured deep conversation is not your style, feel free to simply spice up any regular card game with questions that tickle your fancy.
Tips
It’s always easier when a “facilitator” is moving the conversation forward.
*
End each question with “why?”.
*
Listening actively can really help people open up.
*
Leave the cards on your coffee table and let guests discover them.
Testimonials
What our customers say:
These cards are an amazing icebreaker that allows for more interesting connections that one could usually form with just small talk. I love that it changes conversations from the usual boring “get to know one another” questions. Great to play with old and new friends!

Elevate playing cards DO elevate your chances to mingle with your friends meaningfully. The questions are fun and thought-provoking… The answers? Absolutely unique! I highly recommend this game.
Jonathan
It’s surprising how much conversation can emerge from a single card and how this game can switch from serious talk to hilarious moments. I’ve spent an entire evening with only four questions without ever being bored.

Pulls you out of your bubble with a pair of forceps!
