The Connection Profile Quiz
Five questions, answered before you have an account, that pick your deck and set its pace, tone, and depth.
Before you make an account, Bonded asks five questions and builds a deck from the answers. This is your Connection Profile. It runs on the welcome screen under Get started, and your answers stay on the device until you save them with an account.
The Five Questions
| # | Question | What it decides |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Who will you be talking with? | The branch: my partner, someone I'm dating, someone I just met, a friend, or a colleague. |
| 2 | Your situation within that branch | Together with question 1, this picks exactly one deck. |
| 3 | How deep do you like conversations to go? | Where the card difficulty starts. |
| 4 | How quickly do you warm up? | The pace — how many easy cards land before anything vulnerable does. |
| 5 | What do you want more of right now? | The tone mix, from mostly playful to mostly honest. |
Which Deck You Get
Questions 1 and 2 together route you to one deck.
| Who | Situation | Deck |
|---|---|---|
| My partner | Under a year in | Date Night |
| My partner | Two to five years | Couples |
| My partner | Five years or married | Closeness |
| Someone I'm dating | We barely know each other | Starter |
| Someone I'm dating | A first date is coming up | Date Night |
| Someone I'm dating | Casual, from the apps | Spark |
| Someone I'm dating | I want to know them properly | 36 Questions |
| Someone I just met | There might be something here | Date Night |
| Someone I just met | Just being social | Starter |
| A friend | A new friend | 36 Questions |
| A friend | One of my closest | Friends |
| A colleague | A new team | Starter |
| A colleague | Someone I already know | Friends |
Depth, Pace, and Tone
| Question 3 — starting depth | What it feels like |
|---|---|
| Keep it light | Easy, funny, nothing heavy. |
| Somewhere in between | Playful, with real moments. |
| I like going deep | Honest questions are the point. |
| No shallow end | Straight to what matters. |
| Question 4 — pace | Easy cards before anything vulnerable |
|---|---|
| Slowly — I need a while to warm up | 6 |
| Steadily — a few easy ones first | 4 |
| Pretty quickly — I open up once we're laughing | 3 |
| Right away — I'd rather just get into it | 1 |
| Question 5 — tone | The mix you get |
|---|---|
| More fun | Mostly playful, with a few that land. |
| More closeness | Warm and personal, light where it helps. |
| More understanding | Curious questions that make sense of each other. |
| More growth | Honest ones, built up to gradually. |
The Payoff Screen
After the last question, Bonded shows a short building sequence, then:
- The name and description of your deck.
- A real first card from that deck.
- Pace, tone, and depth as bars.
- Either an estimated length, or — if your deck is a Premium one — a note that your first ritual starts free on Starter at the same pace and tone.

Quiz Troubleshooting
| Problem | Meaning | What to try |
|---|---|---|
| The preview did not load | The deck preview request failed. | Continue anyway — your answers are saved and Bonded recommends a deck once you are signed in. |
| "Could not save your deck" | The replay request failed for a signed-in user. | Check your connection and tap the button again. |
| You are asked the quiz again | Your account predates the quiz, or you opened it deliberately. | Answer once; it is not asked again after that. |
| The situation screen is blank | You reached it without answering question 1. | Bonded returns you to question 1 automatically. |
