FAQ
- Is it free? Do you need an account?
- Yes, everything is free. You don't need to sign up or log in. This site may show ads, though.

- How many cards are there? What kinds of cards can you find?
- There are 771 cards across 23 decks. They range from questions for looking back on your own to questions to share with family, partners, friends and colleagues.
- Each deck has its own feel. If you'd like to start light, open Today's Question first.
- Who is it best for—family, a partner, or friends?
- Each deck shows which relationship it suits. With Family is great for family, Deeper Together for a partner, and Switching Seats for friends.
- Either-Or Questions is an easy choice when you're meeting for the first time. If you're not sure what to pick, filter by relationship or situation at the top.
- How is this different from buying physical talk cards?
- You don't need to buy anything or install an app. Just open a link and start right away.
- There are no cards to lose or carry around. You won't get the feel of paper, though—that's where physical cards shine.
- How many people do you need? Can you use it alone?
- It's easiest with two people, but a bigger group works well too. Enter the number of people, and you'll see whose turn it is.
- You can flip through the cards on your own too. Even if you don't answer out loud, the questions stay with you.
- Is it available in languages other than Korean?
- Only Korean is available right now. Other languages are on the way.
- You can see the languages coming next in the language list in the footer.
- Can you use it for interviews or group orientations?
- Yes. For a first conversation with someone new, a group orientation, or an icebreaker, 'Today's Question' and 'Either-Or Questions' work especially well. There are no right answers, so nobody needs to prepare in advance.
- It can also help you prepare for an interview. Use 'Today's Question' to reflect on who you are these days, then explain your choices in 'Either-Or Questions' to make introducing yourself feel much easier.
- Cards made especially for interview questions are in the works. You'll see an announcement when they're ready.
