"Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind, and therefore is winged Cupid painted blind." — William Shakespeare
Is love truly the most powerful force in the universe, or is it just a biological trap to ensure the survival of the species? Are we over-romanticising an idea that binds us to impossible expectations? Dare to deconstruct this glorified emotion and see if what remains is truly love.
"Time is the best author; it always writes the perfect ending." — Charles Chaplin
They say time heals all wounds, but what if it’s just a thief that slowly robs us of life? Are we wasting time trying to control it, or letting it slip away without even noticing? Let’s discuss whether time is an ally or our greatest enemy, disguised as opportunities and dreams.
"Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future." — John F. Kennedy
Everyone talks about accepting change, but are we ever truly ready to embrace it? Or is change just an excuse to avoid confronting the uncomfortable truths of the present? Come explore whether change is inevitable progress or simply a cycle of illusions.
"Pleasure is the beginning and the end of a happy life." — Epicurus
Is pleasure the final refuge of the free spirit or the perfect trap that keeps us prisoners of our own desires? Is living for pleasure a way of life or a path to self-destruction? Let’s see how far we’re willing to go in the pursuit of pleasure.
"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." — Franklin D. Roosevelt
Is fear our most primal instinct or the force that keeps us captive in a life without risks? What if everything we fear is actually what we need to face the most? Let’s break the taboos and discover whether fear is our true enemy or the ally that keeps us alive.
"Justice without force is powerless; force without justice is tyrannical." — Blaise Pascal
Is justice truly blind, or just conveniently short-sighted? Are we living in a world where justice only serves those who can afford it? This theme will make you question whether justice is a matter of principles or simply controlled by those who hold power.
"Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people." — Karl Marx
Is religion a moral compass or a shackle that binds us to outdated dogmas? And what about spirituality? Is it a genuine quest for meaning or just an excuse to avoid the hard questions? Let’s see if we can distinguish between blind faith and true enlightenment.
"Death is not the end, it is the beginning of a new journey." — J.R.R. Tolkien
Is death the ultimate end or just a great mystery we choose not to unravel? Do we avoid talking about it because we fear the unknown, or because, deep down, we know we’re wasting our lives? Dare to face death as the final great adventure.
"Art is the lie that enables us to realize the truth." — Pablo Picasso
Is art an explosion of creative freedom or just another way to shape our perception of reality? Are we creating art or merely consuming what we’re told is valuable? Let’s discover whether art is a true expression of the human spirit or just a well-crafted illusion.
"Freedom is the possibility of isolation. If you cannot live alone, you were born a slave." — Fernando Pessoa
Is true freedom even possible, or are we all trapped in invisible cages? Is freedom an unattainable ideal, or something we avoid because of the responsibility it brings? This theme will challenge your concept of freedom and make you question whether you’ve ever truly been free.
"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." — Eleanor Roosevelt
Is the future a blank canvas or just a reflection of our deepest fears and desires? Are we shaping the future or merely repeating the mistakes of the past with a fresh coat of paint? Come discuss whether the future is something we can control or just an illusion of progress.
"The meaning of life is to give life meaning." — Viktor Frankl
What if life has no meaning? Are we all searching for something that simply doesn’t exist, or is it the search for meaning that gives our existence purpose? Let’s dive into the greatest of all questions and see if we can find an answer—or maybe the Question itself is what truly matters.

It all started with Isabel, Filipe, and Inês — three friends driven by curiosity, a passion for knowledge, and the desire to create something beyond trivial conversations. After two years of hard work, the game was born. We wanted more than just obvious questions; we wanted a deck that would open doors to each person’s inner world, elevating the quality of conversations and connecting people.
The process was long, filled with grilled sausages, heated debates, and endless changes to the design. We worked with dedication, disregarding deadlines and market rules. -
We created an imperfect, restless, yet profoundly authentic game — a true Pandora's box designed to explore themes ranging from death to love, purpose to spirituality.
For your delight, charm, and enchantment. Solo or with a sausage.
