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 play 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 should the questions go? | Where the card difficulty starts. |
| 4 | How fast do you open up? | The pace — how many easy questions come before personal ones. |
| 5 | What do you want from this game? | The tone mix, from mostly playful to mostly honest. |

Questions 1 and 2 together route you to one deck.

The Practice Round
After the last question, Bonded shows a short building sequence, then lets you play a real card from your deck:
- Say your answer out loud (or think it, if you are on your own), then tap Done answering. Pass works too.
- A stand-in partner takes their turn, the way the other person would on their own phone.
- Then That's the whole game!, with your deck's length and its next card waiting, unreadable.
The practice round happens only on your phone. It is not a session and does not use your free game. Tap Skip to go straight on.
Tap Create my free account to sign up and keep your deck. If your deck is a Premium one, your first ritual starts free on Starter at the same pace and tone. If you are already signed in and re-running the quiz, the button reads Start here and saves your new answers to your existing account.
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. |
