Games to connect
intentionally

PastSmallTalk is a card game — available as a physical deck and a free online version — designed to spark meaningful conversations between couples, friends, family, and new acquaintances. Pick a deck, draw a question, and answer out loud. It's the easiest way to get past surface-level small talk and into the kind of conversation you actually remember.

Yes. Every curated deck — Past Small Talk, Would You Rather, Never Have I Ever, One Has to Go, and Exposed — is 100% free to play online with no sign-up required. PST+ is an optional upgrade that unlocks unlimited personalized question generation, saved vibes, and exclusive decks.

Five game types: Past Small Talk (conversation cards for deeper connection), Would You Rather (pick between two options and explain why), Never Have I Ever (confess or stay silent), One Has to Go (eliminate one of four), and Exposed (guess who in the room matches the prompt). All of them are free to play in your browser.

No account needed for curated games — open Explore and start playing in seconds. An account is only required if you want to generate personalized games with PST+ or save your favorite vibes to replay later.

Date night is what PastSmallTalk was built for. Couples use it to break out of routine conversation, rediscover each other on anniversaries, or simply make a quiet evening feel intentional. The Past Small Talk deck and the personalized game are especially popular for romantic evenings.

Yes. PastSmallTalk works over FaceTime, Zoom, or any video call — share your screen with the deck open, take turns drawing questions, and answer out loud. Long-distance couples use it weekly to stay emotionally connected when they can't be in the same room.

Tell us who you're with, where you are, and the mood you're in, and PastSmallTalk generates a custom question deck in seconds. The questions reference real context — your setting, your relationship, your vibe — so every game feels tailored instead of generic. This is what PST+ unlocks.

Most sessions run 15 to 45 minutes depending on how deep you go. You control the pace: skip questions that don't land, linger on ones that do, and stop whenever the conversation has found its natural end. Short coffee-break games and long dinner-long marathons both work.

Yes — Never Have I Ever, One Has to Go, and Exposed are built for group play. They work for housewarmings, game nights, bachelor/bachelorette parties, team offsites, and friend dinners. Past Small Talk and Would You Rather work better in smaller groups of two to four.

Teams use PastSmallTalk for onboarding new hires, offsite icebreakers, and weekly 1:1s. The curated decks skew playful; for professional settings, many teams pick the milder conversation-starter decks or generate a custom PST+ deck with a professional vibe.

Couples, long-distance partners, close friends, new friends, roommates, coworkers, and families. It works for first dates, anniversaries, long drives, group dinners, bachelor/bachelorette parties, and anywhere two or more people want to move past the usual conversation patterns.

The physical PastSmallTalk deck is produced and distributed by May, Inc. For current availability, where-to-buy links, and press inquiries, email team@pastsmalltalk.com.
