About this tool
Good questions open doors that everyday small talk leaves closed. Choose a mood, from light and fun to deep and honest, and get a fresh set of five questions to explore together over dinner, on a walk or before sleep. Save your favourites for later.
Tips for getting the most from it
- Take turns answering and listen without interrupting.
- Start light, then move to deeper sets when you both feel relaxed.
- Put phones away so the questions get your full attention.
Frequently asked questions
How many questions should we answer at once?
One or two is often enough. Deep questions deserve time, so it is fine to save the rest for another evening.
Can friends or family use these questions too?
Many of the light and growth questions work well between close friends. Flirty questions are better kept for partners.
