How Deep
is Deep
A 53-card deck of questions designed to break the surface, and find what's beneath it.
I was sleeping in a bus when I started writing these questions.
I'd quit my job. I'd stopped working for four months. I'd given up almost everything I owned. Not because I had to, but because the awakening I was going through was asking me to.
I was living in a 1990s Iveco bus parked in a backyard in Perth, with a dreamcatcher hanging in the windshield and an extension cord running through the door. No income. No plan. Just a deeper question pulling me through every day.
Every morning I woke up and asked myself the same thing: what is my purpose of being here? Not as a thought experiment. As something I genuinely needed to answer. There was nowhere else to put the question. Nothing to distract me from it.
And then one night, I went to a friend's party.
Everyone was talking about the same things they always talk about. The weather, the weekend, who said what to whom. And I sat there, half-present, knowing I was going home to a bus, and thought: none of them know what I'm going through. And nobody is asking.
It wasn't their fault. They didn't have the language. I didn't have the language either. We didn't have the questions.
And then another voice, clearer than my own, said: why don't you make it, then?
I went back to the bus that night and started writing. The questions I wished someone would ask me. The questions I needed to ask myself. The ones that meet you where you actually are, not where you're pretending to be.
That's how this deck was made. Not in a studio. Not by a team. By one person, in a bus, in the middle of giving everything up, and finding, in the process, what was actually worth holding onto.
Where the first questions were written.
13 sections. 12 you can see. One you can't.
Each section holds four questions, each card paired with original artwork designed to set the tone before a word is spoken.
The thirteenth section reveals itself to those who go far enough into the deck.
Questions that actually ask something.
What are your beliefs about the existence of the soul and its nature? How do these beliefs influence your understanding of life's purpose and the journey beyond death?
If you discovered you were living in a simulated reality, how would that knowledge influence your pursuit of truth, freedom, and self-discovery?
How do you approach the exploration of your shadow self, the aspects of yourself you may struggle to accept, and how does this contribute to your inner peace?
Sketched, measured, and made by hand.
Every box dimension. Every card size. Every fold. Drawn out in a notebook with a pencil and a ruler before a single file went to print.
The pink head silhouette on the box, the one with the well opening into the mind, was sketched, redrawn, and refined a dozen times before becoming the mark of the deck.
This isn't a product designed by committee. It's a product designed by one person, during a moment in their life, for people they hadn't met yet.
More ritual than game.
The deck comes with rules, but they're written more like instructions for a ceremony than a party game.
Set an Intention
Before beginning, each player names what they hope to discover or explore through the game. A quiet moment, before the words begin.
Clear the Energy
Tap the deck three times before each round. A symbolic gesture, to clear what came before and make space for what wants to be said.
Draw Intuitively
Choose the card that calls to you, not the one at the top of the deck. The question you're meant to answer is rarely the one you'd choose with your mind.
Listen Actively
When another speaks, listen without preparing your reply. Be where they are. The conversation is happening, not waiting.
Ask Again
Follow-up questions are where the depth lives. The first answer is the surface. The second is closer. The third is usually where the soul speaks.
The deck also works as a journaling tool. Draw one card each morning, sit with the question, and write your answer. Return to your answers a month later and see what's shifted. The deepest conversations sometimes happen with yourself.
What you might be wondering.
If you have a question that isn't here, send a message and it'll get added.
What's inside the deck?
53 cards across 13 themes, plus a ritual instructions card. Each section holds 4 questions, with original artwork on the front of every card.
Themes include Belief System, Consciousness, Soul, Matrix, Trauma, Inner Peace, Relationships, Purpose, Spirituality, and more, with one section hidden inside the deck.
Can I use this deck for journaling on my own?
Yes. The deck works beautifully as a solo journaling practice.
Draw one card each morning or evening, sit with the question, and write your answer in a journal. Returning to your answers months later shows how your inner world has shifted.
How is this different from other deep conversation card games?
Most decks in this category are designed by teams optimising for broad appeal. This one was written by a single person during a spiritual awakening, while living in a bus and asking themselves their purpose every morning.
The questions explore deeper territory than typical decks, including consciousness, simulation theory, trauma, and the soul. It's built as a ritual rather than a party game.
Who is this deck for?
Anyone hungry for conversations beyond the surface. Especially suited to:
People exploring spirituality or going through their own awakening. Couples wanting to know each other beyond the routine. Therapists, coaches, and facilitators looking for prompts that go deep without being clinical. Friends who want to reconnect after years of small talk. Solo journalers seeking better prompts than most journaling decks offer.
What is the hidden 13th section?
The deck has 12 named themes and one hidden section that reveals itself as you go deeper.
It's not on the box. It's not in the marketing. It's a discovery reserved for those who open the deck and look closely. Saying more would spoil it.
