Celebrating 20 Years of
Great Conversations

Our founder, Cristy Clarke, came up with the idea of conversation starters on her way to a holiday party. She wasn’t looking forward to having the “same old small talk with the same group of friends.” So, she jotted down a few questions to ask each guest. Her fellow partygoers loved it, and she did too. By morning, she was writing questions to use with her husband and three young daughters at dinner. They loved it! And, TableTopics® Questions to Start Great Conversations was born.

The first set of conversation starter question cards that launched the brand was a hit, and is still our best-seller today! We are forever grateful to loyal fans, many of whom bought the very first printing of our Original edition and have purchased multiple sets since then.

We have received awards, been one of Oprah’s Favorite Things, were chosen for a community-based research project by the National Institutes of Health, and made custom sets for companies like Ancestry®, Morgan Stanley®, and Hershey® to name a few. And, literally millions of TableTopics® sample size sets have been distributed in Chick-fil-A® Kid’s Meals over our seven-year partnership.
