About the game
Our story
Beyond the Surface began with a forgotten card game on a trip. My partner and I were searching for a way to reconnect, to move beyond the surface and rediscover the depth of our relationship. That moment sparked an idea: a tool to guide meaningful conversations. From there, it grew into decks for strangers, friends, families, and coworkers—all designed to help people connect in a world that often feels disconnected.
Our mission
We believe every interaction holds the potential for something deeper. Our mission is to create spaces—both physical and digital—where people can move beyond small talk and discover the stories, dreams, and experiences that make each person unique. We’re not just a game; we’re a bridge to meaningful connection.
The impact
Since our launch, we’ve seen the power of a single question. Strangers have become friends, families have uncovered new sides of each other, and coworkers have built stronger teams. Every conversation sparked by Beyond the Surface is a step toward a world where we truly see and understand one another.
Our vision
We envision a world where technology brings us closer, not further apart. Whether you’re traveling, spending time with loved ones, or meeting someone new, Beyond the Surface is here to guide you. Our goal is simple: to help you ask the right questions, listen with an open heart, and keep the conversation going. Because when we go beyond the surface, we find the magic of human connection.
Why question card games are great
Question card games are excellent for breaking down barriers and encouraging deeper conversations. They provide prompts that help steer discussions away from small talk, creating a safe space for sharing thoughts and feelings. With these cards, players can focus on the questions instead of worrying about what to say, allowing for more balanced and engaging interactions.
The gamified nature of question cards reduces stress and makes it easier to explore meaningful topics. By drawing cards and answering questions, players can move from simple check-ins like “How are you?” to more profound inquiries like “Who are you?”—turning ordinary chats into genuine connections.
