Questions about the cards
Is it really free to print and share?
Yes. Print as many copies as you need for personal use, classrooms, clubs, libraries and community events, and share the page link. Please keep the hello-question.com line on the cards and do not sell the printed decks.
How many cards are there?
Forty-eight original questions in four decks of twelve: light, curious, deep and playful. Each deck prints on two A4 pages, 8 cards per page, with cut lines. The last four cells of each deck are blank so you can write your own.
What if someone does not want to answer?
Passing is always fine and is printed on every card. Good hosts answer first, keep their own answer short, and move on without comment when someone passes.
Do the questions ask for personal details?
No. None asks for contact details, an address, an employer, income, health, family or relationship status, and none is about dating. They are written for groups of friends, newcomers, colleagues and strangers alike.
What is a table tent for?
It is one question printed on a folded sheet so people on both sides of a table can read it. Use it at events, cafés, libraries or a shared lunch table, and change the question for each round.
Where does the daily question come from?
The home page shows one new question a day in English, Spanish, Portuguese and Russian. These printable cards are separate, written for this page, and there is no overlap with the daily set.
