About 10-15 minutes · on your phone
A card deck of 10 questions that you play online. After each card, you choose to keep it about the movie or show, or go deeper. It only goes as deep as you both want.
Deal the first card⚠️ If it starts to feel too uncomfortable, keep the conversation on the movie
These activities focus on the movie or show unless you both choose otherwise. If any question activates ridicule or anger in someone, keep the conversation on the movie. That response is important information, and pushing closer to home may not improve it.
If something about the conversation worries you, talk it over with someone you trust.
