Most of the workday, we talk around each other. Status updates, quick syncs, the good-weekend-you nod by the coffee machine. This is the set of decks for the other kind of talking, the kind that makes a team actually feel like one.

Built out from experience running team offsites, events, and more, this is the full range: five decks that take you from breaking the ice to the conversations most teams never quite get to. Whether you're an HR leader, a manager, or just want to connext with your coworkers, this bundle has the solution for you.

Five editions, one bundle:

  • {THE AND} Co-workers: for the people you spend forty hours a week beside and barely know
  • {THE AND} Teambuilding: past the trust falls, into what people actually think
  • {THE AND} On Racism: hard questions, held with care, room to be honest
  • {THE AND} Strangers: for the new hire, the other department, the person or teams you've never had a reason to sit with
  • {THE AND} Good Vibes: lighter on its feet, for when the room just needs to loosen up. Perfect for icebreakers, cross-team collaboration meetings, and more.

How it works: no winning, no losing. Draw a card, read it out loud, answer honestly, pass the deck. That's the whole thing. No facilitator required.

Good for team offsites and retreats, onboarding, workshops, DEI conversations, or the first ten minutes of a meeting that would otherwise be dead air. Wherever people need to get past small talk and actually get to know each other.

In the box:

  • Nearly 1,000 conversation starters across five decks
  • Built for real workplaces, not team-building theater
  • Works in a boardroom, a break room, or a hotel conference room at a retreat
  • Digital format available, bring it anywhere, share it across a team, use it remotely on a call

Sit down as coworkers. Get up knowing something real about each other.

Real Conversations

For Teams To Work Better

What happens on your team when someone disagrees?

Every team looks fine on paper. The real test is the hard conversation, whether anyone says the uncomfortable thing, whether disagreement stays about the work, whether the quiet person’s good idea ever makes it into the room. {THE AND} Team Building Edition builds the trust those moments run on, one real question at a time, so the team doesn’t just get along, it gets sharper at what it does together.

199 questions and prompts. One deck. Team building you feel in the work, not just the room.

Perfect For

OFFSITES THAT MAKE AN IMPACT

Retreats and kickoffs where the goal is a team that comes back working better, not just a day out of the office. Fill the team-building slot with something that changes how people work together, not another trust fall everyone’s forgotten by Monday.

A NEW OR RESHUFFLED TEAM

A fresh team, a reorg, a merger of two groups who’ve never worked together. Build the trust a team needs to move fast, before the first hard deadline tests whether it’s actually there.

Any Team With Something On the Line

A season opener, a big event, a launch, a deadline, or just the weekly meeting that’s gone flat. Any time a group needs to show up tighter than last time, open with one card and get everyone actually talking before the real work starts.

A Deck Built for Teams To Perform

It Makes It Safe to Say the Hard Thing

The disagreement in the meeting, the mistake worth admitting, the half-formed idea nobody risks out loud. {THE AND} Team Building Edition builds the trust those moments need, the psychological safety every high-performing team runs on, one real question at a time.

Results That Outlast the Offsite

Most team-building days are a good afternoon everyone’s forgotten by Monday. These are questions a team keeps reaching for, before a hard decision, at the start of a meeting, so the trust keeps compounding instead of evaporating the second everyone’s back at their desks.

No Facilitator And No Prep

No coach or facilitator to bring in, nothing to set up. Draw a card, read it aloud, drop it into a meeting you’re already having. The simplest team-building tool on the list, and one of the few that actually changes how a team works.

Better, More

Effective Teams

Most of what slows a team down isn’t the work, it’s what goes unsaid. The assumption nobody checked, the tension no one named, the question people were too polite to ask. {THE AND} Team Building Edition surfaces it in the open, where a team can actually deal with it, instead of letting it quietly drag on every project.

Whether you’re forming a new team, sharpening one that’s already good, or just want a way to build real cohesion that isn’t another workshop, this is a tool you can put to work in your next meeting. No training required. Just better questions, and a team that’s better for having answered them.

WANT A BETTER WORK CULTURE?

ASK BETTER QUESTIONS

The right question in the room changes how a team talks to each other. {THE AND} Co-Workers Edition is built entirely out of those questions — the ones that get people past the status update and into an actual conversation.

They come from Topaz Adizes, founder of The Skin Deep and an Emmy Award–winning artist, drawn from more than 1,200 real conversations filmed around the world over the last decade. This isn’t a set of icebreakers someone wrote in an afternoon. It’s a decade of studying what makes people open up, distilled into a deck your team can use in five minutes.

Bring it to your next meeting, offsite, or onboarding — and find out what your team sounds like when the questions are better.

Booking: Topaz is also available for live experience design, keynotes, and speaking engagements.

FAQs

{THE AND} Team Building Edition is a team-building card game from The Skin Deep, made to help teams work better together. It’s a 199-card deck of questions that build the trust and openness high-performing teams run on, useful for offsites, new or changing teams, and the recurring meetings you already have.

Both decks get a team talking, but they’re aimed at different things. Co-Workers Edition is about interpersonal connection, getting to know the people you work beside. Team Building Edition is about team performance, the trust, candor, and psychological safety a team needs to do its best work. If you want colleagues to feel closer, start with Co-Workers; if you want a team to work better together, this is the one.

It’s built to do more than break the ice. The questions create the conditions high-performing teams depend on, people willing to disagree about the work, admit a mistake, or float a half-formed idea without fear. That’s the difference between a team that gets along and one that performs, and it’s what this deck is designed to build.

No. There’s no consultant to hire, no workshop to book, and no rules to learn. One person draws a card and reads it aloud, and the team answers, drop it into a meeting you’re already having, or run a full deck at an offsite. It works from a small team up to a large group, one conversation at a time.

Yes. {THE AND} Team Building Edition works just as well on a video call as in a room, one person reads a card, everyone answers, nothing to set up or ship. It’s one of the simpler ways to build real trust on a distributed team without getting everyone in the same place.

Not at all, {THE AND} Team Building Edition works for nearly any group that has to function as a team. Sports teams and coaches, clubs and student orgs, volunteer crews, nonprofit and community groups, church and ministry teams, bands, committees, if a set of people needs to trust each other and work well together, this deck is built for that. The questions aren’t about office work; they’re about becoming a real team, whatever it is you do together.

Yes, we offer bulk pricing for corporate and team orders. {THE AND} Co-Workers Edition makes a genuinely good gift for a management team, a department, or every employee in the company — a team-building tool people will actually use, not another branded water bottle. Reach out to our customer service team with what you’re looking for and they’ll be happy to put together an order that works for your team.
