PebbleTalk has been meticulously prototyped, tested and iterated.
Here's some of what our BETA TESTERS HAD TO SAY:
“It evoked some different levels of conversation that we don't usually get into as a remote team.”
- Katie Holt, Owner and Founder, Smart Girl Digital
“It ended up turning into a big discussion of personal journeys which was kind of unexpected and enjoyable. It also ended up being very therapeutic for folks.”
- Nate Gerber, Strategic Design Lead, ThinkFresh Group
“It takes some of the pressure off to come up with a fun, innovative prompt by having literally a deck you can draw from.”
- Nick Crampton, Director, Digital Services and Customer Experience, City of Vancouver
“The questions are really interesting. They are good questions, not generic. They are more evolved questions.”
- Kulbir Bachher, Service Design Specialist, BC Public Service
“It definitely sparked some very humorous discussions. We are 100% gonna keep using these.”
- Sara Freeburn, Director of Client Services at Scoop Studios
Here’s how we’ve designed PebbleTalk
50 beautifully designed prompt cards
Enough for one prompt a week for a whole year (minus two weeks vacation 
) Designed and printed with 
in Toronto, Canada.
Compact, Eye Catching Box
Compact box and card set to throw in your bag or workshop kit / facilitation kit. Bright orange for fun and so you don’t lose it!
Instruction manual
Concise guidance on how to use the cards, and facilitation tips for beginners.
Category coding and FOLLOW UP PROMPTS on the cards
Categories make your selection easy, and keep the conversation flowing - whether you want something quick, light, or deep.
You might be wondering…
- Why should I buy this - there’s a million card decks and facilitation tools out there?100% agreed - we did extensive competitive and analogous reviews. We’re confident that PebbleTalk fills a gap in the market of tested, curated and vetted questions that are appropriate for work and client settings.
Some other options out there are too personal for work teams - Esther Perel cards based on therapy anyone?! Or meant to be played between friends or romantic partners (School of Life).
Think of PebbleTalk like meeting small talk help specially built for colleagues or clients! - Can’t I just google prompts / questions?You totally could! That said, we find having a trusted, go-to set of questions that has already been curated is an invaluable time saver. Especially if you facilitate a lot!
And on the flip side, if you’re a newer meeting lead or facilitator, this takes some of the stress and spin out of trawling through questions. - Who is this for?Design Leads and Workshop Facilitators – Designers and team leads responsible for workshops or collaborative sessions, looking to foster connection and collaboration.
Team Managers and Leaders – Managers who run internal team meetings and aim to enhance team cohesion and engagement.
Client Services Professionals – People in client services or agency teams who run weekly or remote meetings and want to strengthen their client relationships.
Event and Retreat Organizers – People organizing retreats, offsites, or team-building sessions, aiming for impactful and memorable group experiences.
Facilitators and Trainers – Facilitators who want to expand their facilitation toolkit or find go-to resources for effective team-building strategies.
(Side note: we also heard from our Beta Testers that they ended up using the cards with friends and family, at parties and dinner. They’re just that fun!) - What’s the refund policy?Given the nature of producing and shipping a physical product, and associated costs for a small business, we are unable to offer refunds at this time.
We do want you to be happy with your purchase, so if you are truly unhappy with their purchase they can reach out and provide their feedback and we will see what we can do to make things right. - I have a different question.Great! Please reach out to linn@made-manifest.com.
