Off The Record® is the practical tool that improves your conversational and relationship-building skills, no matter who you want to keep in your life.
Each card carries a pair of related questions: one to open the door into the topic, and one to create depth without feeling heavy. The result is the kind of conversation that makes you think, "WOW! Now I see how you became the person you are today."
Designed to play with the people who matter most like your spouse, your teenager who's drifting, the colleague you want to actually know, the friend you haven't got real with in far too long. No matter who you're speaking with, Off The Record turns any moment into one worth sharing.
Why we're special (in our biased opinion):
- The two-question conversation game that doesn't stop at small talk. By pairing related questions on each card, we created the tool to build lasting habits of curiosity, active listening, and the confidence to go beyond the surface.
- Created by a communications expert, not a therapist. We're obsessively study how quality discourse create lasting relationships. After testing the questions in this deck for 10 years, we know what makes somebody spankin' good at these skills.
- Built for genuine 1-on-1 connection because the best understanding is generated between two people.
