Frequently Asked Questions
What's included in each card?
Each month, there will be a different quest included in each card, which will contain:
- A letter, written by me, describing the quest, my experience doing it, and variations you can adapt in your own life
- A sticker, themed for the quest, that you can put anywhere to remember your experience
- Another surprise goodie that's related to the quest!
What are the quests like? Are they good for kids?
The quests are activities, outings, or experiences that help you be more connected to your community, whether that be stranger, neighbors, friends, or family. They don't require any special materials or purchases. You can do them alone or with others, including with kids! Anyone, no matter the type of community you live in, can adapt them to their own life.
What are the badges?
The badges are hexagonal stickers that serve as a fun memento from each month's quest. They all have a consistent look and feel, but are adapted to the theme of each month.
Why hexagons? You can tesselate them together to make a grid, or put them any other way you'd like.
How much does it cost?
The monthly subscription is $7/month. The six-month bundle is slightly discounted at $35 for six cards - buy five, get the sixth free.
This price covers a variety of costs: website, credit card transaction fees, PO box, shipping, all of the physical materials included in each envelope, and the time it takes to put it all together.
How does the subscription work?
When you subscribe, you'll receive a card in the mail each month. (I ship the cards at the end of each month, so depending on where you live, you should receive them at the start of the new month.)
You'll be charged on the 20th of each month for the following month's card. You can cancel at any time with your original purchase confirmation email. If you have any issues, please email me at info [at] heystrangerclub.com and we'll figure it out!
What if I need to cancel my subscription or change my address?
You can cancel or modify your subscription from your initial purchase email, titled "Your new Hey Stranger Club subscription!". If you have any other issues, just email me at info [at] heystrangerclub.com
Can I buy cards as a gift for someone else?
Yes! Our six-month bundle is perfect for gifting. They'll get a card each month for six months, either the immediate next month (if you buy before the 20th) or the following month (if you buy after the 20th).
Where do you ship?
Anywhere in the US! Right now, I don't mail cards internationally, although that could change - stay tuned.
