What do people love about TableTopics Questions to Start Great Conversations? “we LOVE Table topics. We use them at our house daily. We have a rule when one of my 3 kids brings home a new friend we pull it out and ask 3 random questions to get to know them. It’s amazing.” -Michelle P. “These question cards help keep family meals fun but also help you learn so much about each other. We are all guilty at taking the people we live with for granted. These cards can spark way better discussions than your typical, open ended "How was your day?" with a standard "Fine, how was yours?" (Followed by radio silence...especially with #teens.) -Sscratch “…you should have at least one version in your home or office somewhere. The conversations we’ve had have been priceless. Sometimes it’s funny stuff, sometimes it’s serious, but every time we are connecting and hearing each other and we almost always learn something new about one another.” Cfive

Convo is a question game that ditches the yes and no's, and the I do's and don'ts of questions. Instead, we want you to ask the how's, the why's, and the what's. Not only that, we've curated questions for you to ask more than just your typical friend. We want to give you an excuse to start those conversations that matter with others you don't often get to converse with, or to have the right questions at hand to ask. Start asking the right questions with the right person. - No more generic or irrelevant questions. We curate questions suited to who you want to have a Convo with. - Play Convo with 6 different options, including with your friends, parents, siblings, grandparents, partner, and strangers. Conversations can be powerful in the moment, but we want to make them even more memorable. - Keep track of Convo's played and access previous questions you favorited! Have a great question in mind? Send us a suggestion through Convo and we'll add it to our deck of cards. Easily share questions you love on Convo with friends and family. ----------------------------------- How do you use Convo? 1) Find someone you want to have a Convo with whether it be a friend, stranger, parents, grandparents, sibling or your partner. 2) Choose your category under "Start a Convo with". 3) Ask the question that stands out to you or swipe either side to go to the next card. Each question is a prompt meant to start a discussion or conversation around a certain topic. There are no strict rules to the game and no turns being tracked. Take as much or as little time as you and your partner want, or skip questions that aren't as appealing to you! 4) Found a question that stuck to you? Favorite it and it'll automatically be saved into your saved Convos. 5) Pause an unfinished game or end a game when it's time to end a Convo. --------------------------------- Have a question? Reach out to us at contact@myconvoapp.com and we'll get back to you as soon as we can!
