Menu
How to play

Get Real is a card game for humans who want to skip the small talk. Each question is an invitation — not an interrogation. Take it wherever feels right.

There are no wrong answers. Only honest ones.

Drawing a card

Tap the draw button, or swipe left on mobile. Anyone present can answer — or pass. There's no turn order unless your group wants one.

Going back

Swipe right to step back through the cards you've already played this round — all the way to the first. A check mark in the corner flags one you've already seen. Swipe left to move forward again, or to draw a new card.

Ending a game

Tap End Game to clear the table and shuffle back to the opening card. Questions you've already drawn stay marked, so your next game won't repeat them. Lock your phone or switch apps and your card stays put — only End Game, or fully closing the app, returns you to the start.

Passing

Any player can pass on any question — no explanation needed. Passing is playing. Long silences are a feature.

Topics

Open the Topics sheet to focus the deck on what matters to your group right now. Turn some off and the deck draws only from what's left.

Packs

The Inclusive deck is on by default — every question works for any group. If your room is a Men's, Women's, or Queer circle, open the Deck sheet and add the matching Expansion Pack on top. Mix and match — any combination is fine.

Sit with this

After a question appears, tap Sit with this to reflect one-on-one with an AI companion — a quiet voice that asks thoughtful follow-ups and never lectures.

Rating a question

Tap the thumbs in the corner of a card if a question landed — or didn't. Votes are anonymous, never interrupt play, and you can tap again to change your mind. They help us sharpen the deck over time.

Timer

Optional — a soft wrap-up signal for groups that want one. When time's up, swipe left or tap the draw button to continue. Opening Sit with this stops the timer.

Cinematic mode

Rotate your phone sideways for a full-screen view of the question — no header, no controls, just the card.

Offline play

Everything except AI chat works offline — once Get Real is installed.

📱 On Your Device

Get Real stores a small amount of data locally on your device to remember your preferences between sessions. This includes your selected packs, your timer settings, your appearance choice, the questions you've already seen, your play history (the cards you've sat with, shown in History), your saved thumbs votes, and the cached question deck so the app works offline. Get Real has no way to access this data. To remove Get Real's local data, click the button below.

🖥️ On Get Real's Servers

Get Real does not collect your name, email, precise location, device ID, or any other profile of your identity. Question serve counts and your anonymous thumbs up/down feedback are aggregated per question, never tied to your identity. If you use "Sit with this", our server keeps a content-free operational log of each AI chat call so we can monitor cost and catch abuse. The app also sends automatic error reports when something goes wrong in the code — these contain only technical details, never your messages or personal information. See our full privacy policy for exactly what's in each log.

AI reflection ("Sit with this")

When you sit with a question, Get Real passes your messages and the current question to the Claude API (Anthropic) to generate a response. The content of your chat messages is not stored by Get Real — once Anthropic replies, the text is gone from our infrastructure. Anthropic may retain conversation data according to their own privacy policy. We do keep a short operational log of each call (timestamp, a 16-bit bucket hashed from your IP, token counts, conversation length) to manage cost and detect abuse — no message content, no identity. See our full privacy policy for details.

About

Real connection doesn't happen by accident. It takes a question that cuts past small talk, a moment of willingness, and someone ready to listen.

We built Get Real around a simple belief: those moments add up. A vulnerable answer at a dinner party. A late-night conversation about what someone truly wants. Each exchange is a small deposit in something that compounds over years — into the friendships, love relationships, and communities that make a life.

Talking about our feelings isn't always easy. But it pays off — in how well we know ourselves, and how well the people around us get to know us.

That's what Get Real is for. One question at a time.

Before you sit with this

Sitting with a question connects you with Claude, an AI made by Anthropic. Your messages and the current question are sent to Anthropic's servers to generate a reply.

Get Real does not store your messages. No account or identity is linked to these requests — Anthropic only knows they came from the Get Real app's IP address.
