For grown-ups

The Table is a family dinner question. Everyone sees the same question, written three ways: for a six-year-old, for a thirteen-year-old, and for you. Each person picks a side and gives a reason; before answering, you say the previous person's reason back. The Fair-o-meter leans toward the stronger reason, not the right answer, and it resets every card.

To sit together on different devices, one grown-up opens a table and reads five words aloud. The room shows who is here and who is thinking — never anyone's screen, and nothing is typed between devices. Names you type stay on your device; the page can be printed or saved as a file you keep.

What it never does

  • No accounts, no ads, no tracking — anything kept stays on this device.
  • No streaks, timers to beat, points to chase or leaderboards.
  • No chat, and nothing anyone types is sent anywhere.

We describe what The Table is designed to practise. We do not claim it raises test scores.
