Ask the nearest person this.

That’s the whole game. Draw a card, ask the question, then actually listen to the answer.

Six ways into a person.

How do you express anger? What are some of the harsh truths you prefer to ignore on a daily basis?

Looking inward…

Who you are when nobody’s asking.

What’s the farthest you’ve travelled from your country of origin? What was your dream job when you were a kid?

Looking back…

The moments that quietly made you.

What do you see yourself doing in retirement? How do you imagine your dream house?

Looking ahead…

What you’re still hoping for.

What is our role in the universe? What is success?

In your view…

The things you actually believe.

What would your after-life look like? If you could visit any place in the solar system, where would you go?

Hypothetically…

What you’d do if nothing stopped you.

Have you ever fallen in love at first sight? Have you ever experienced something paranormal?

Have you ever…

The stories you don’t usually tell.

Pick your deck.

With whom do you laugh the most? What is a perfect romantic date? If you could have dinner with anyone dead or alive, who would you choose?

How to play.

2 to 6 people

  1. Shuffle the deck and put it face down on the table.
  2. Everyone draws 5 cards and keeps them hidden.
  3. On your turn, choose a card and give it to another player to answer.
  4. Discard it, then draw back up to 5.
  5. Keep going until everyone runs out of cards.

7 or more people

  1. Shuffle the deck and put it face down on the table.
  2. On your turn, draw a card and answer it yourself.
  3. Discard it and pass the turn to the next player.
  4. Keep going until the deck is empty.

Sort the deck by color into six piles, one per category, and shuffle each pile.

2 to 6 people

  1. Everyone draws one card from each pile, for a hand of 6.
  2. On your turn, choose a card and give it to another player to answer.
  3. Discard it, then draw a replacement from the same pile.
  4. Stop whenever the night is over. Few groups finish all 234.

7 or more people

  1. On your turn, pick the pile that suits your mood.
  2. Draw the top card and answer it yourself.
  3. Discard it and pass the turn to the next player.
  4. Stop whenever the night is over.

Just the two of you

  1. Shuffle the deck. You each draw 5 cards and keep them hidden.
  2. Take turns choosing the card you most want your partner to answer.
  3. Listen to the whole answer before you respond.
  4. Then answer the same card yourself.
  5. Discard it and draw back up to 5. Stop when it feels right, and pick up where you left off next time.

Going deeper

Couples questions are written about “us,” so this deck is made for two people in a relationship. For a longer evening, shuffle it into Classic and play with the same rules.

For adults only, and only when everyone at the table has agreed to it. Passing is always fine, and nobody has to explain why.

The slow burn (our favorite)

  1. Start a game of Classic or Extended, using that deck’s rules.
  2. When the room has warmed up, shuffle a handful of After Dark cards into the draw pile.
  3. Add more if everyone’s still keen. The questions will start to surprise you.

Straight to it

  1. Shuffle After Dark on its own.
  2. With two people, or anyone you trust, play it with the Couples rules.
  3. With a group, draw a card on your turn and answer it yourself.

For two

Couples

Whether it’s been three months or thirty years, there’s still something you haven’t asked.

Some questions wait until the lights are low. This deck stays face down until you decide otherwise.

Sexual themes. Dimming the lights confirms you’re 18 or older.
