A LITTLE LONGER. A LITTLE CLOSER.
The service ends.
The connection can begin.
A conversation card game that makes room for us to move beyond familiar faces and begin knowing one another.
COMING SOON · CURRENTLY IN DEVELOPMENT
01 / THE HEART BEHIND IT
SAME CHURCH.
STILL STRANGERS?
You can go to the same church for five years and still not really know the people around you.
You recognise their faces. You might know where they sit. You might even serve together. But what makes them laugh? What matters to them? What does care look like to them?
Stay After makes room for those conversations. Not because everyone has to become friends, but because real connection deserves an opportunity to begin.
Discover how the game works02 / MEET THE CARDS
A GLIMPSE OF THE
CONVERSATION.
A little preview, not the whole deck. Turn over a card to discover one question and its optional “Stay Here” follow-up.
A little look at what’s inside. The rest is for the table.
04 / MORE THAN QUESTIONS
NOT EVERYONE
WHO SHARES
SOMETHING WANTS
YOUR ADVICE.
Asking thoughtful questions matters. So does knowing how to respond. Stay After includes optional Response cards so people can say what kind of support they actually want.
No perfect answers. No pressure to share more than you want to.
05 / THE EXPERIENCE
PULL UP A CHAIR.
STAY A WHILE.
Different people. Different levels of comfort. One simple way to start.
PICK A CARD.
Choose a category. Read the question aloud. Start wherever feels comfortable.
LET IT UNFOLD.
Take turns, listen well and explore the “Stay Here” follow-up if someone wants to.
TAKE IT BEYOND THE GAME.
A question is a beginning. Connection grows in what happens afterwards.
ONE DECK. LOTS OF POSSIBILITIES.
DIFFERENT WAYS
TO PLAY.
From a quick check-in to a full group conversation, choose the way that fits the moment. There’s no one right way to play.
THE EASY START
Choose a category together, then take turns drawing and answering cards. Use the Stay Here follow-up when someone wants to explore further. Stay for as long as you like.
LET CURIOSITY LEAD
Spread out a selection of cards. Everyone secretly picks a question they'd genuinely like to hear people answer. Shuffle the chosen cards, draw one at a time and see where the conversations go.
CHOOSE WHAT FITS
Lay three cards face up. Each person chooses the question that best reflects where they are today. Share a little or a lot. There's no pressure to explain your choice.
SAY IT WITHOUT SAYING IT'S YOU
Choose a question together. Everyone writes their answer privately, then folds and shuffles the slips. Read the answers aloud and discuss what comes up, without guessing who wrote what.
NEW FACES. NEW CONVERSATIONS.
Split into pairs or trios and draw a question. After a few minutes, switch conversation partners and pick another card. In larger gatherings, create smaller groups and rotate between them.
YOUR PACE, YOUR SPACE
Pull a card for personal reflection. Sit with the question, write in a journal or use the Stay Here follow-up to go deeper. Keep your answer private or share it with someone later, if you choose.
A little reminder: There’s no finish line, no obligation to share and no one right way to play. You can skip any question or stop whenever you want.

WELCOME TO THE STAY AFTER LIST

ON THE LIST.
Thanks for being part of Stay After's beginning. We'll share development and launch updates when there's something new to tell you.

07 / GOOD TO KNOW
A FEW
QUESTIONS.
Can I buy the cards now?
Not just yet! Stay After is still being tested and prepared for print. Join the waitlist to hear when the deck is ready.
Is Stay After only for church groups?
Church community inspired Stay After, but you can play with a friend, a small group or anyone who wants to get to know one another. Some Show Me questions are faith-centred.
Do I have to answer every question?
Not at all. Anyone can pass, pause or choose another card. You choose how much you share, and the Stay Here follow-up is optional.
What comes in the deck?
The deck is being finalised. The current design includes four conversation categories, Stay Here follow-ups, Intermission mini-games and optional Response cards. Final contents will be confirmed before launch.
How will I know when it launches?
