Conversation starters for cultivating gratitude and joy, from getting to know new acquaintances to bonding with your closest friends.
This thoughtfully designed deck features 3 levels of intensity, ranging from light to dark. You can keep it light, staying in the shallow end, or go deep and delve into more intimate questions.
Our cards are helpfully organized into 3 color coded decks to help drive the level of intimacy you want to bring to a conversation. The lightest cards are designed for dipping your toes into a conversation. The darkest cards are perfect for diving deep into a closer connection and sharing or learning more personal things about friends, loved ones, and yourself. The middle card set helps you land somewhere in between light conversation and deeper intimacy.
Why you need it:
-
User-friendly gratitude practice that's helpful for focusing on the things that bring you joy
-
Get out of conversational ruts with your partner, bond with friends at game night, or get to know someone new
-
Select your desired level of intimacy and avoid awkward exchanges around questions that are too personal by choosing your ideal intensity from color-coded sets arranged from light to dark
-
Encourages real conversation: The Delve Deck Joy Edition gets you away from staring at screens and into connecting with real humans
-
Ideal journaling tool: Banish your fear of blank pages and use these cards to help think of topics to write about as you work on your gratitude practice
- Questions that have been road tested with thousands of people to ensure that each question in this deck will lead to real conversation instead of one word answers
The inspiration behind the Joy Edition:
We have never found it easy to maintain a gratitude journal or practice gratitude. All the products designed for this purpose tend to ask the same broad question over and over, "what are you grateful for?" It's hard to think of a new answer to that same query every day.
We designed this deck for people who want to start practicing gratitude or improve their practice, but struggle to come up with what to even write or think about. The questions in this deck help you actually think of the depth and breadth of things that bring you joy, which can be hard to do on your own. This card deck is full of specific prompts that will help you focus on your favorite things, whether it's a favorite artist or a quality in a loved one that you appreciate.
Inspiration behind the Delve Deck series:
We started asking conversation starting questions on our social media accounts several years ago and they became some of our most popular posts. We loved seeing total strangers who follow Boredwalk have fun spirited conversations and find connection, even with people they'd never met. We'd occasionally find ourselves asking friends questions from our posts and it always led to great conversations.
We chose to organize some of our most popular questions into card decks because we wanted to create something that would help us and our customers have great conversations with our favorite people AND stop staring at our phone screens. We selected questions for our decks that had the most comments, which means they're questions that are very likely to result in great conversations for you and your favorite people.
We organized our questions into levels of intimacy because when we tried other conversation decks on the market we found the questions were all over the place. Sometimes we're with people we're close with and are okay with talking about feelings, childhood, and other more personal topics. Sometimes we just want to have fun and talk about something light. We designed our Delve Decks to help you modulate the kind of conversation you want to have.
We designed the box with a nod to classic design movements like art deco and mid-century modern to create something timeless and stylish that you might want to display on a mantle, coffee table, or shelf. A conversation deck you have on display is one you're more likely to use, which means you'll get tons of great conversations out of this stylish little box of fun and connection.
Product Features:
- 150 cards divided into 3 separate decks with increasing levels of intimacy
- Stylish box that doubles as a decor item and becomes a conversation piece all on its own, with dividers to keep cards organized
- Compact and lightweight packaging makes this deck perfect for taking on trips, game nights, and more, and easily fits into an overnight bag, purse, or tote
- Box measures 4" x 3.5" x 2.75"

I just ordered both the delve deck, and it's awesome! Your social media videos kept coming up in my feed, and I finally pulled the trigger, and we couldn't be happier! My wife and I are planning on having Sunday evening delve deck time during happy hour! Cheers!
My husband and I love to play cards like those!
The questions are unusual and you really enjoy to play!
I love it! I adore all my purchases and shopping my values has never been more delicious. I swear. I keep seeing creators that sell out, it's sad. But that will never happen here! You go girls!
Thank you!
This is a great deck of questions for my husband and I who have been married for over 30 years. We own a business and tend to talk about that alot. I brought this set with us to our valentines dinner and we had some great conversations and memories return to us. We will bring this on our upcoming trip to Hawaii and being a card or two on walks or dinners. Great variety of types of questions too.
Bought the Delve Deck Couples Edition for my daughter and son-in-law for their first wedding anniversary. They’re been together for ten years so this looked like a thoughtful gift. I like the mix of playful and deep questions.
One suggestion I have: I noticed that the box shows a hetero couple. It would be much more inclusive to show a more gender neutral graphic, even two cute animals or something.
Hi Jane,
We’re so happy you were pleased with the content of the cards in the deck, and appreciate the feedback on the package design!
This was a consideration we discussed while designing the packaging for the deck. We ultimately chose the wardrobe styling of the couple we went with to keep the art for the Couples Edition consistent with the Mid Century aesthetic of the rest of our Delve Deck product line. This is also why deviating from the established use of human figures to animals would not have worked, and also potentially confused customers by leading them to assume the Couples Edition deck was for pets (or pet guardians) rather than for human couples.
However, the reason we chose to have the couple facing away from the viewer was to leave their respective genders ambiguous, regardless of the clothing they’re wearing. It’s important to keep in mind that fashion choices are not inherently prescriptive. Masc folks with short hair and a predilection for slacks aren’t necessarily cis-het men, nor are femme folks with a love of sundresses, pumps, longer hair, and pearl necklaces required to be cis-het women.
Therefore, the couple depicted on the cover of the box could be two men, two women, two non-binary people, or a combination thereof.
We also intentionally choose skin tones for the figures on our Delve Deck boxes that are not naturally occurring — ranging from blue for the original Delve Deck to orange for the Joy Edition to grey for the Venting Edition to the grayish lilac of the Couples Edition — precisely to avoid any group of people from feeling excluded from enjoying the decks based on the color of their own skin.
This thoughtfulness extended to the questions in the deck as well; we purposely avoided any references to gender identifiers or hetero-normative relationship roles to ensure all couples — be they straight or same-sex, or include partners who are cis-het, trans, non-binary, etc. — would be able to use every card in the deck, no matter what.
Thanks again for your feedback and allyship!
These cards are phenomenal! They are thought provoking and keep the conversation going in a positive direction. They are well packaged and of high quality. I am very happy with my purchase.
The questions are thoughtful, the people are wonderful, but the niftiest thing is the Delve Deck is grouped into four separate depth levels so that you don't hit your players with more than they are prepared for! It's also a nice touch that a cute motivating sticker was included in the package. I'll definitey be ordering from them again!
I love this fantastic conversation starter, maintainer and booster! Lots of thoughtful fun. Each question answered leads to much more conversation.
I took one on a family trip.
I loved it so much I bought 350 of them for our customers.
Sincere Peace

I have all 3 sets of these cards and each one is fantastic. The variety and thought of each question is very surprising. Awesome game during family dinners and road trips. Or hanging out by the fire. 100% go get em, you won’t be disappointed, and the company is fantastic also. Plus the box matches my dog….see picture for proof
I absolutely love having Delve deck cards in the living room to randomly pull a card and have spontaneous conversations whenever. Whether its just my partner around or our friends are over, its a great discussion!
These are a Christmas gift for my daughter so they are still wrapped in plastic. The plastic wrap is perfectly applied and nicely reflects ambient light while the box sits in a pile of gifts waiting to be wrapped. The design on the package is nice but still requires my reading glasses like everything smaller than a 42-point font. I would buy the deck again if I had friends, but I dont so this probably a one-time thing. I have a whole pile of Boredwalk shirts that I LOVE and will definitely buy more as they think of new things. (Maybe in a larger size because winter food is my favorite.)
I bought this on a whim, and am SO HAPPY that I did. We love this deck so much, and have had such a great time learning so many new things about each other. Both my kids and my husband ask for a Delve Deck question every time we get in the car.
I invited a group of ladies over for wine night and instead of ranting about work or parenting, we really got to know about each others pasts. It was really wonderful and I dont think I can host a party without them now.
We have a bar/lounge in our house. Its where we gather with friends and family. This deck of card sits on the table in between the bar caddy and some candles. We dont ever point to it, or even say anything about it. But EVERY time we have guests, someone eventually pulls a card out and the conversations flow. Ive learned so many new things about people Ive known forever. The Delve Deck is worth its weight in gold.
We have had the best time, connecting with family and friends, using our new set of cards delve deck. I would highly recommend this item for anyone looking to have great conversation with people they enjoy.
My husband and I went on long hikes on our vacation this summer, and enjoyed taking a handful of cards with us for the day! Even though weve known each other for 20 years, we learned new things about each other! We enjoyed the questions!
We keep the Delve deck on the dining room table. My son will randomly grab the box and just go for it. I had no idea that kid (27) was so deep and sometimes just plain funny! My husband reminded me that there are no wrong answers, very true. I bought a three decks, two for holiday exchange gifts and one for home. My son asked if he could have one for his place! The deck questions can provoke a serious or funny answer and either way you learn more about the people you share your deck with.
Fantastic! Took this on a road trip/weekend getaway with my wife and we loved relaxing and exploring conversations sparked by the card subjects.
So, I was originally going to just stock up on some new tees since it is starting to get a bit too warm here to wear my Boredwalk sweatshirts. However, I received an email mentioning the release of a new game and thought 'why not order that too'. I received my Delve Deck earlier in the week and have had a blast *playing* it with my husband over the long weekend. No matter how long you have known/been with someone, there is always something new to be learned. It is definitely a great conversation starter for couples, friends and family. The product/material quality is nice, and there are enough cards to keep you going for a while. The cost is pretty on par with what I'd expect to pay for something like this. I plan on coming back to purchase a few more as gifts for a upcoming weddings, birthdays and Christmas.
We are using a few each night, one from each level. They are helping us learn some new things about each other.
My wife and I have been using and enjoying the conversation cards every night. They have sparked some interesting talks.
