“What’s a hard season we went through that you’re quietly grateful for now?”
Better questions for the people across the table.
Awkward Silence is a deck of conversation cards that knows who you’re with. Pick your spouse, your nine-year-old, or your dad, and every card is written for them. Read it out loud, put the phone down, and talk.
Free through November: the whole app, for everyone you love, plus the Date Night pack.
Works on any phone, tablet, or computer. No download needed.

Written for Who You’re With
The same tap gives a different deck for a long marriage, a nine-year-old, and a grandfather. Ages come from birthdays, so the cards grow up with your kids.
“If you were the boss of our family for one whole day, what would we do?”
“When do you want my advice, and when do you just want me to listen?”
“Who were you at twenty five, and what did you want more than anything?”
“On three, point to who would survive the longest on a deserted island.”
“What’s the most random thing you know a lot about?”
How It Works
- Pick who you’re with. Add someone with just a name and who they are to you. Their age keeps the questions right.
- Pick a mood, or don’t. Keep It Light, Get to Know You, Go Deeper, or Heart to Heart. Surprise Me is the default.
- Read the card out loud. When an answer opens up, tap Go Deeper for the follow-up question. That’s usually where the good part starts.
1,359 Hand-Written Cards
542 in the app, and 817 more in 15 expansion packs. Every card is read aloud before it ships. No therapy worksheets, no job-interview questions.
Our Family
Group cards for the dinner table. The youngest person there sets what’s appropriate, and a different person reads each card.
Table Mode
Lay the phone flat between you and the card reads right-side up from both sides.
Your Own Cards
Write “What was your favorite part of our trip?” and it comes up the next time you’re together.
Expansion Packs
Each pack is a new way to play for a moment or a season of life: a night out, a bedtime ritual, a life story told in order. Date Night is free. The others are $3.99 each, or $29.99 for every pack, now and later. You pay once, and they’re yours on every device you sign in to.
Date Night
Free on the web
Questions and small table moments for a dinner out, a drive, or a walk after.
“Raise your glass and make a toast to me. You’ve got ten seconds.”
Bedtime
For kids 4 to 10
Three calm cards a night: one about today, one to wonder about, and one to say goodnight.
“What was the kindest thing you saw anybody do today?”
Life Story
For a parent or grandparent
Their whole story, chapter by chapter, from where they came from to what they’ve learned.
“Walk me through the house you grew up in, starting at the front door.”
Holiday Table
Every generation at one table
For Thanksgiving, Christmas, and every long table with grandparents, cousins, and guests.
“Who at this table has a story the kids have never heard?”
Eleven more are ready, from Road Trip to Marriage Check-In, and more are on the way.
