About the brand

Modern tools for mindful living take shape through intentionally designed connection games that invite vulnerability, reflection, and real conversation. Happy Tears offers seven editions of bilingual (English–French) card decks filled with 100–200 thoughtfully crafted prompts. Created to strengthen bonds across generations and relationships, the games have found their way into more than 20,000 homes worldwide since launching in 2018.

Founded by Brandon as a queer-led business, the brand approaches well-being with emotional honesty at its core—embracing the full spectrum of human experience rather than chasing constant positivity. With $1 from every order donated to Canadian nonprofits supporting LGBTQ+ mental health, each deck is as purpose-driven as it is heartfelt.
