64 conversation starters, free to read right here.
These are not a sample written for a web page. They are exactly the cards the Frankly app gives away — the whole Icebreakers deck, plus the first five of every other deck — copied out of the app itself.
Why publish them? Because the app already gives these away to anyone who opens it, with no account and no payment. Putting them on a page you can read without installing anything seemed more honest than asking you to download first and judge second. The other 458 cards are behind the paid decks.
