OUR STORY · VIBES & VIRTUES
A good question
can change how
we see each other.
Games, art, music, and shared experiences that make room for curiosity—and for the people around us.

Artist, founder, and conversation starter.
01 / IT STARTED WITH CURIOSITY
From an idea online.
To people in a room.
To your table.
Carey Fountain first imagined a website where people could respond to creative prompts and earn rewards from local vendors. To help people understand it, he brought the idea into a live event.
The gathering became an experience of its own. More events followed. When people wanted something they could take home, Carey began developing the Vibes & Virtues card game.
That spirit is still at the center of the work: create an invitation, give people a way to participate, and leave room for something unexpected.

Vibes: the energy we bring.
Virtues: the values we live.
How we show up matters. So does what we stand for. Vibes & Virtues creates a space to explore both—with playfulness, honesty, and curiosity.
02 / WHAT WE MAKE ROOM FOR
Come curious.
Leave with a new perspective.
You don’t need the perfect answer.
You just need a place to begin.
Room for difference
Listen without needing to agree. There can be more than one way to see a question.
Participation
Bring your perspective. What people contribute helps shape the experience.
Choice
Share what feels right. Passing on a question is always welcome.
03 / ONE CURIOSITY. MANY WAYS TO EXPLORE IT.
A game at the center.
A world around it.
Different ways to participate.
The same invitation to connect.

People make
the experience.
At Wildcard Social, the invitation takes shape through shared questions, creative participation, and time together. Each person brings a different point of view.
The Cultural Archive gives those contributed perspectives another life: a way to revisit themes and explore responses across events and places.
