Frequently Asked Questions
What age range is the Tales Teens Edition designed for?
The Teens Edition is written for teenagers and their parents, with questions crafted to feel natural and age-appropriate for the tween-to-teen years. It also works well in mixed-age settings, since the prompts are open enough for younger or older family members to join in.
How many cards are included?
Each deck includes 150 conversation starter cards covering topics like school, friendships, hobbies, goals, and everyday teen life — enough for months of car rides, dinners, or one-on-one time without repeating questions.
How is the Teens Edition different from the Family Edition or Kids Edition?
The Family Edition spans all ages at once, and the Kids Edition is written for younger children (ages 7+). The Teens Edition focuses specifically on the parent-teen relationship, with prompts designed to move past one-word answers and spark real dialogue during the identity-forming teen years.
What kinds of questions are in the deck?
The cards mix lighthearted, hilarious hypotheticals with more meaningful, reflective prompts — so conversations can shift naturally between fun and deeper connection depending on the moment.
When and where should we use these cards?
They're built for everyday moments: car rides, dinner table time, cooking together, or lazy weekend afternoons. No special setup is required — just pull a card whenever there's a few minutes to talk.
Is there a digital version available?
Yes. A digital version of the Teens Edition is available for immediate use right after purchase, which is a good option if you want to start using it before physical shipping arrives.
How long does shipping take?
Orders ship within 24 hours on weekdays (weekend orders ship the following Monday). Standard shipping typically arrives within 4–9 business days, both domestically and internationally. Expedited and priority options are also available.
Can we use this with a teen who doesn't live with us?
Yes — the cards work just as well over a phone or video call (FaceTime, Zoom, etc.) as they do in person, making them a good option for long-distance relationships with teens.
Is this good for a teen who gives one-word answers?
This is one of the core use cases the deck is designed for. The prompts are written specifically to break through "fine" and "I don't know" by asking questions that are easier and more interesting to actually answer.
What's included, and is it a physical card deck?
Yes, it's a physical deck of 150 printed conversation cards (a digital version is also sold separately). It's designed as a screen-free way to spend intentional time together.
How long will shipping take?
We ship all orders within 24 hours of purchase during the week — weekend orders go out first thing Monday morning. Standard shipping typically arrives within 4-9 business days, with expedited and priority options available at checkout. International orders usually arrive within 4-9 business days as well.
