ORDER NOWour story
we didn't set out to make a game; we just wanted to stop being bored at parties.
A few summers ago, we started a shared note called “good questions” after bonding over our hatred for small talk and monotonous questions.
Hundreds of questions later, we decided to turn it into a game and an art project. Designed in collaboration with Kate Bonner, CANDID is a traditional deck of playing cards that doubles as conversation starters. There are no rules here. You make them.
CANDID comes in a vintage cigarette tin and can be used for quiet evenings with old friends or late nights with new ones. Play cards, share what's real, be candid with one another and create the kind of conversations that turned two strangers into us.
made for the mess
most conversation games are one-trick ponies. you ask the questions once and the deck gathers dust in a drawer. candid is different. it’s a proper 52-card deck built for dive bars, long drives, and those 2 am realizations. it just happens to have a soul.
spit
for when the energy is high and you’re waiting for the next round. fast, loud, and probably going to end in an argument.
shithead
the ultimate "waiting for the train" game. easy to learn, impossible to quit.
gin rummy
sunday morning energy. slow down, deal a hand, and actually think about the question on the card while you sip your coffee.
poker
high stakes, higher vulnerability. raise the bar on your next home game.
spoons
absolute chaos. if you aren’t diving across the table, you aren’t playing it right.
go fish
simple enough to play with your nephew, but the questions make sure you actually find out something new about the kid.
everything you need.
prompt with soul
52 questions designed to linger, wrapped in vintage-inspired art.
life-proof quality
casino-grade card stock that survives spills and long nights.
the go-anywhere tin
durable and fits in your pocket. built for lulls, legends, and
everything in between.

the cards in the wild.
less small talk, more of this.
common curiosities
is this just for first dates?
not at all. while it's the ultimate safety net for a first date, candid is built for any moment that needs more "real" and less "filler." use it to find out things you never knew about your best friend of ten years, or to kill the silence on a long road trip.
what are the cards actually made of?
we didn't skimp on the specs. these are printed on casino-grade german black-core stock with a linen finish. they feel substantial, shuffle like a dream, and are housed in a vintage-inspired matte tin designed to survive being tossed in a bag or left on a bar top.
how fast will they ship?
we know you have plans. orders typically ship within 24–48 hours from our warehouse. you can expect your deck to arrive in 2–5 business days, and you'll get a tracking link the moment it's on the way.
how do you actually "play"?
there are no points, no winners, and no instructions. use them as a standard deck for poker or gin and answer the question on the card you draw, or just leave the tin on the table and pull a card whenever the conversation hits a lull. you make the rules.
what if i change my mind?
we want you to love the deck. if for some reason it's not what you expected, we offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. just reach out to us, and we'll make it right. no interrogation required.
