Curiosity Unleashed: The Deck Builder Challenge
*"The best questions aren't always the ones we're asked—they're the ones we create together."*
Usually, at a Curious Souls Café gathering, you arrive to find a carefully curated deck of questions waiting for you. This time, we are flipping the script: **you** are the conversation designer.
Every great discussion starts with a spark of curiosity. In this special interactive event, we aren't just answering questions; we are building the game from the ground up. We will split into small teams, pick our own unique themes, and use our [Deck Builder](https://curioussouls.cafe/tools/builder/) webapp to co-create custom decks with AI on the fly.
Will your team build a deck about navigating the modern workplace? A lighthearted round of nostalgic "What Ifs"? Or a deep dive into the unwritten rules of life? The direction of the night is entirely in your hands!
Bring your creativity, a collaborative spirit, and an open mind. Let's discover what happens when we unleash our collective curiosity.
**Inviting those who...**
🎨 Want to flex their creative muscles and design a conversation experience for others.
🤝 Enjoy collaborative team-building and bonding over shared ideas in a low-pressure setting.
📱 Are eager to test out a fun, interactive web tool to guide real-world connections.
🗣️ Hope to connect with kindred spirits in a judgment-free space where every voice shapes the night.
**📅 Agenda / What You'll Experience**
**💬 Phase 1: The Designer's Studio**
After a brief welcome, we will group into small teams. Using your smartphones, your team will decide on a topic and use our [Deck Builder](https://app.curioussouls.cafe/builder/about/) app (with the help of its AI Generator) to draft a custom deck of 5 to 10 meaningful questions.
**🎲 Phase 2: The Roll & Share**
Once the decks are built, the host will roll the virtual 3D dice to decide which person goes first. That person will generate a QR code directly on their screen. Everyone else simply scans their phone, and the game begins!
**💬 Phase 3: Prompted Conversations**
We will play through the winning person's custom deck, enjoying the unique flavor and perspective they brought to the table. After a while, we'll roll the dice again and scan the next person's QR code, rotating until everyone has had a chance to "host" a round. From there, we’ll embark on a respectful, engaging, and meaningful conversation, celebrating the diversity of perspectives and ideas within the group.
*Note: This session requires a smartphone per person to access the builder via a web link. If you do not have a device, don't worry—you can easily team up with someone who does or ask our facilitator for support!*
**💬 Final Thoughts and Feedback**
Where time allows, in the final 10 minutes of the event, we’ll take a moment to reflect on the key insights, memorable moments, and takeaways from our discussions. This is a chance to distill the shared wisdom and leave with a deeper understanding of the topics we’ve explored together.
After the event officially concludes, the group may choose to extend the session, depending on the group’s interest. To explore what our events are like, check out our official website at [https://curioussouls.cafe](https://curioussouls.cafe)
⚠️ **Content Guideline**: Because participants will be generating their own discussion prompts, we ask everyone to keep their questions respectful, inclusive, and appropriate for a diverse public setting. If your team uses the app's AI Generator, you'll notice an "Extra Empathy" filter is active by default—this is designed to shift the focus from "wounds to wisdom" and actively avoid heavy triggers. We encourage depth and curiosity, but please steer clear of overly sensitive, explicit, or hostile topics to maintain a safe space for all attendees.
📍 Location
City: Hong Kong
Address: Empire Centre, 68 Mody Road, Tsim Sha Tsui East
Inside the shopping mall of Empire Centre, there is a large open area dedicated to a café. We will sit at a round table or sofa inside (near a Hang Seng ATM or 7-Eleven store). Please look for the big words "Curious Souls Café" on our table.
If you take the MTR, the nearest station and exit will be East Tsim Sha Tsui Station (Exit P1). From there, you can walk to Empire Centre, which is just a few minutes away.

June show pitch workshop #3
**On a whim**
Have you ever done something impulsively - a haircut or a tattoo you regretted, a random date that turned into a relationship, a passion project that became a career, a trip that went sideways, or a purchase you indulged in? Tell us all about your spontaneous decisions that led to memorable outcomes. If you couldn't make it to the first pitch workshop, here is another opportunity for you to do so!
The *On a whim* live storytelling show is on Wednesday, 24th June. If you’ve got a story or just an idea in mind, come to one of our pitch workshops at the end of May. If your story is shortlisted for the show, our host will work with you as you polish and rehearse it.
📌 Story Requirements:
* Your story must be true
* It must be told in the first person—you are the main character
* It should be between 5-10 minutes
You don't need to have a completed or polished story ready - just a beginning idea is okay.
This workshop is open to individuals at all levels, first-timers or old hands.
The purpose of Hong Kong Stories is to help you become a better storyteller.
Everyone has a story to tell, and everyone loves a story.
Note: Please update your RSVP, ideally 12 hours before the event if you're unable to make it.
Repeated no shows will be moved to not-going / removed from the group to open up slot for people on the waitlist.

The Quiet Years at One Shot Saturday (Tabletop RPGs)
**The Quiet Year** is a map game. You define the struggles of a community living after the collapse of civilization, and attempt to build something good within their quiet year. Every decision and every action is set against a backdrop of dwindling time and rising concern.
The game is played using a deck of cards – each of the 52 cards corresponds to a week during the quiet year. Each card triggers certain events – bringing bad news, good omens, project delays and sudden changes in luck. At the end of the quiet year, the Frost Shepherds will come, ending the game.
The Quiet Year occupies an interesting space – part roleplaying game, part cartographic poetry.
We'll be running two tables of this GMless story telling game.
WHAT IS ONE-SHOT SATURDAY?
It's a weekly meet-up in Sheung Wan/Central, focusing on indie games and single-session games (one-shots). 而家所有游戏係英文嘅但如果你要嚟玩中文游戏,我哋會無任歡迎。只要湊啱玩家就行!
You can drop in and play at any One-Shot Saturday – you do not need to have played in a previous session or commit to playing again. Whether you've played an RPG before or not, you're welcome to join us.
Please arrive on time as once the games begin it becomes difficult to properly introduce latecomers.
Join the conversation, make plans, suggest games to play, etc. —
Facebook group: [https://www.facebook.com/groups/oneshotsaturdays/](https://www.facebook.com/groups/oneshotsaturdays/)
\*\*\*
WHAT IS A TABLETOP RPG?
It's a game in which you never know where the next stop will be, because it’s all down to the decisions you and your fellow players make. Usually one person is the Game Master (or "GM"). Everyone else will be players, taking the role of the characters in the game. The players get to say what their characters say, think, and do. The GM describes everything else in the world.
Then... we play to find out what happens. The game is a conversation: I say something, then you reply, maybe someone else chimes in. We talk about what's happening to the characters we imagine and the world around them. We also talk about the rules, which help us decide what happens next if the next step is in doubt. The rules differ from game to game: some use dice to shape the story, others use cards or something else. It's always a conversation, though.

Soulbits Circle: A Monthly Gathering
**Soulbits Circle: A Monthly Gathering**
**Every fragment of your story is medicine; come weave it into being**
**Hosted by: Caitlynn Fortson**
**[www.kalikwellnesswithin.org](www.kalikwellnesswithin.org) \| [www.centerfornewlife.org](www.centerfornewlife.org)**
**The Center for New Life or Virtual, upon request**
**Monthly Circles \| Fridays 6:30\-7:30PM**
**Upcoming Dates: 5/1, 5/29, 6/26, 7/24, 8/28, 9/25, 10/23, 11/27, 12/18**
A monthly healing space where we gather to tend the pieces of ourselves and weave them back into wholeness that we are. Each session opens with a Soulbits oracle image setting the tone for the gathering we will move through. We will come together to honor the natural rhythms of rooting, rising, releasing, and receiving; the cycles that shape the soul’s journey.
Through the four pillars of being: mindset, movement, connection & nourishment, we will create a space where imagery, sensation, and community weave together. Where the body becomes the guide, images act as mirrors, and the soul speaks. This circle is about noticing what rises, honoring what’s true, and reconnecting with the parts of yourself ready to be seen.
This is a space to gather your scattered pieces, soften your body, and return to your truth with community by your side. Soulbits Circle is a reminder that every fragment of your story, every soulbit, belongs. Together we weave them into the blooming wholeness that you are.

Shut Up & Write!™ Easton Town Center
We'll meet at The Capital One Café, 167 Easton Town Center, Space A-103. This is in the main mall where the Microsoft store used to be, on your left if you're standing at the bottom of the AMC Theater escalator.
Join us on Saturday for an hour of uninterrupted wordmaking!
• What we'll do
Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at 10AM on Saturday mornings.
Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done.
SCHEDULE:
10:00 - SESSION 1: quick intros.
10:10 - timer starts: write for 1 hour.
11:10 - chat / take off / keep writing.
OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens at 11A-11:30ish. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing.
BEING LATE IS OKAY: just show up and get settled, then check-in with me after the session. (I’ll be the person with the Shut Up & Write! sign.) If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer.
Happy writing and I look forward to seeing you!
• What to bring
Whatever you need to be able to write!
Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block noise or the occasional conversation by other patrons. Electrical outlets are limited, so charge your devices before whenever possible.
See you at The Café on Saturday!
