Have you ever played games like Let’s Get DeepNever Have I Ever, or Would You Rather? They’re designed to break the ice and encourage conversation—but what if there was a game that encouraged deeper conversations and created opportunities to discuss faith and belief?

In today’s fast-paced, digital world, deep and meaningful conversations are becoming increasingly rare. More than just small talk fatigue, many people feel hesitant to engage in discussions that go beyond surface-level topics. And when it comes to faith, this hesitation can be even greater.

Yet, the bible reminds us that God has “set eternity in the human heart” (Ecclesiastes 3:11). People have an inherent curiosity about deeper things—life, purpose, and spirituality. However, in a culture that prioritises quick interactions and avoids difficult topics, it can be challenging to create opportunities for these discussions in a natural way.

Why are deep faith conversations so hard to start?

Research suggests that people actually want meaningful conversations, but often underestimate how much others do as well. A study by the American Psychological Association (APA) found that people assume others might not be interested in deep discussions—especially about faith—so they avoid initiating them altogether.¹

At the same time, the way people connect has changed. Digital communication has replaced many face-to-face interactions, making it harder to develop trust and openness. While technology has provided incredible opportunities for evangelism, it has also made in-depth, personal conversations less common.

For those passionate about sharing the Gospel—whether in casual conversations, small groups, or ministry settings—this presents a challenge: How do we create opportunities for real, open discussions about faith in a way that feels natural and welcoming?
 

Introducing Let’s Plunge.

yesHEis, an initiative of CV, created Let’s Plunge, a conversational card game designed to transform everyday interactions into a safe, fun space to turn small talk into meaningful conversations about life and spirituality.

Unlike other conversation tools that may feel like they have a hidden agenda or lead toward a forced “sales pitch” about faith, Let’s Plunge simply invites genuine exploration. It’s built on openness and curiosity, allowing conversations to unfold naturally over time.

How it works.

Available on the website, Let’s Plunge offers a simple but powerful way to engage in authentic, thought-provoking conversations. 

Here’s how it works:

  • Access the game through the website. 
  • Add ‘players’ and click ‘play’.
  • Each round presents thought-provoking questions for each player that encourage personal reflection and open dialogue.
  • The prompts help shift conversations from everyday topics to deeper discussions about beliefs, life, and purpose. You can even choose the ‘depth’ of the questions.

By providing a structured yet natural way to guide conversations, Let’s Plunge helps create moments where people feel comfortable sharing and exploring deeper topics at their own pace.
