FAQ
About the Game
What exactly is The Viewing Deck™?
A workplace card game designed to spark perspective-taking, deepen reflection, and shift the way teams interact and make decisions. Players assume new identities and respond to real-world workplace scenarios – then reflect on what shaped their response.
The Viewing Deck can be used informally, facilitated internally, or as part of a cohort-based experience, depending on how teams want to engage.
Is this a game or a training tool?
Both. It uses the mechanics of play to make complex topics like identity, communication, and perception feel safe to explore. It’s light in format, but deep in impact.
How many cards are included?
Each deck contains 80+ cards across four types: Identity, Scenario, Question, and Conversation cards – enough for dozens of different conversations and repeated use.

Using the Game
Who is this for?
The Viewing Deck is used by team leaders, HR and L&D professionals, facilitators, consultants, and teams who want to explore perspective, communication, and decision-making.

Impact & Outcomes
What will my team get from using this?

Is it a one-time use?
Not at all. It’s designed to be used repeatedly. Each round of play creates new conversations depending on the scenario, identity, and team dynamic.
Choosing the Right Experience
What’s the difference between the deck, Facilitation Essentials, and Perspective in Practice?
The deck is for exploration. Facilitation Essentials adds structure and reflection tools for internal facilitators. Perspective in Practice is a cohort-based experience that builds internal facilitation capability over time.
How do I know which option is right for us?
If you’re exploring, start with the deck.
If you’re facilitating a session, choose Facilitation Essentials.
If you want to build internal capability, Perspective in Practice is designed for you.
Is Perspective in Practice a certification?
No. It’s preparation, not certification.
The focus is on readiness, shared language, and responsible facilitation – not credentials.
