About

Deep End

Features
Read full description

Deep End turns everyday situations into choices people have to say out loud. Pick a deck, draw a card, and answer what you would actually do. A vague answer. A line that gets crossed. A pattern that keeps repeating. A connection that changes pace. A rule no one questions. Each card puts the room in the same situation. The answers do the rest. Built for game nights, dates, friend groups, parties, and conversations that do not stay predictable. Start with Ask or Assume for free, then unlock the base game for the full set of decks. Features: • Situation-based card prompts • Decks built around different social tensions • Random Mix mode • Favorites list for cards you want to revisit • Simple group play • Player names or playerless mode • Session recap • Restore purchases support • No complicated setup How to play: Pick a deck. Draw a card. Read it out loud. Answer what you would actually do. Let the room react. Tap next when you are ready. Deep End is not about perfect answers. It is about what people choose when the moment is specific enough to answer.
