It was a great game to play with my mom while in the hospital recovering! Easy rules, simple strategy- not exhausting. And when she was too tired to play she loved watching me match cards up and chat about why the connected! BRILLIANT!!

I am a companion to 4 older adults, 3 of which are new residents in assisted living. And two with advanced dementia. This is the most engaging experience I’ve seen with any of my companions and especially with residents of all ages, cognitive decline, races, and curiosity. I’d love to go on the road to all assisted living facilities and share the OuiSi experience. It’s more an experience than a game. It’s very revealing of where people are at cognitively. It’s my best tool for when my companions...

I love the versatility of OuiSi. There are so many great ideas given in the enclosed book. The pictures are beautiful and the QR code is so handy when the kids want to know more. I have even incorporated OuiSi into our homeschool activities.

Hi Ouisi…I’m Julie. I’m honored to share our Ouisi journey with you. It’s brought a rainbow of healing colors into our life. As a storyteller, Ouisi has granted me a new pathway to connect to kids minds inside outside, upside, downside as I learn to color chronic pain. Ouisi offers healing opportunities to all the hearts it connects. I purchased both Ouisi original and nature as a way to bring more color into my life. You see I live horizontally from a neck injury almost 10 years ago. Ouis...

We now have all three Ouisi sets and enjoy them all. We recently got the Getty Museum set and found it to be the same high quality materials and photos as the other two sets. I tend to be a literal and linear thinker and these sets challenge me to think more creatively.

My mom turned me and my 7 year old son onto this. We absolutely love it! Gets both of our imaginations going! The QR codes are a super cool feature. 10/10 would recommend!

The attached photo shows the night our granddaughters (age 7 and 4) played OuiSi for the first time. I'm not sure we did it "right" but we had SO much fun! It was a race to see which player could make the most connections. By the end we called it a draw because all three of us enjoyed helping one another. I asked the girls to smile for a victory photo and to say "OuiSi!". The oldest chose to act out "We SEE" - ha! Thanks so much for a great, versatile new game that families can play together whe...

I bought these cards for my son and theY ended up being one of the best gifts for ME! I've since ordered three more to give others Please make more! This is so genius and calming and creative! LOVE OUISI

I have been using it in my 2nd grade classroom and they LOVE it!! We have done it individually and then they share theirs with a partner, as a whole class as each card 'played' is explained as to why they placed it in a spot, and as a writing activity (pull 6 cards and create a story with them). Love LOVE

We have both Ouisi and Ouisi Nature, and my four year old and I play "the matching game" all the time. The rules of the matching game are totally his, and he finds new ways to organize and match the cards together. I prefer the original game because there is more variety and interesting ways to find commonalities between cards, but he loves the insects and animals so much. We often combine them both together.

My name is Susan Lovelace, and I am an instructor for the Pelican Island Audubon Advocates program here in Vero Beach, Fl, an outdoor nature activities program serving 5th grade students from area Title I schools. Last week, we were studying photojournalism in nature, and I used the Ouisi nature cards to have the students write an ekphrastic article about the picture on the card they selected. It was a huge success! The kids loved the pictures, they wrote copiously, and everyone had a great time...

I've been using the OuiSi cards for our Creative and Critical Thinking block in my gifted classroom. The picture shows students deciding which picture in the set doesn't belong - and giving the reason why. (There's more than one answer.) My students love the variety of photographs and finding connections between sets of photos. We've only begun to scratch the surface of classroom applications. This was an excellent purchase for my classroom this year.

This is a great little grounding practice for me to use to keep my hands busy and clear my head when I’m stressed. It’s easy to get out and put away. It’s such a low-effort creative activity to fit in when I don’t have energy but don’t want to be reading or watching screens. Perfect for someone like me who has a lot of chronic conditions. Can do this right on my chaise.

I had the game sent to my 89-year old mother, who is currently living with my brother and sister-in-law. Because of Mom’s age-related cognitive challenges, and their social isolation, I thought a fun activity like Ouisi might be helpful. Sure enough, they have really been enjoying the process and images.

This is a great game- really with endless games you can make of it. I have very competitive children, and it’s difficult to find a game they can all enjoy while also not riling up that competitive nature too much!

We had fun creating our own ways to play with the card. Our final favorite is to make 3 stacks. Then everyone takes a turn drawing 3 more cards and justifying how to match their 3 new cards with the 3 top cards on the stack. My kindergartener loves pointing out when things in pictures are "long and skinny" to match them together

I love the Original and Nature ouisi! I have used it in my biology classroom with students to help build creativity and connection making - the students love to justify why they made certain connections! The QR codes on the back of the Nature are especially fun because my students and I love to find out more about the picture! I have also used it in a relaxing fun way with friends. It is nice to have a game that is not really about winning but is just as engaging. When I played with a new friend...

I gifted this game to my grandchildren and to my sister's grandchildren. Both families said it was great fun for the entire family, all ages. They loved the many ways to use the game, from domino style, to match games.

We played with a bunch of creative adults and everyone really enjoyed it! I was worried it might be just for kids but it truly is for all ages. Very fun!

Warning - this is a little emotional - I started playing this game with my dad last Thanksgiving. We spent a lifetime playing games he could no longer manage. He would get confused and try to eat the dice! However, this game intrigued him and we spent up to 90 minutes at a time playing it. I let him make up the rules. He often didn't even talk but studied the "board" and moved the cards. It gave us many hours of peaceful engagement. This picture was taken exactly one week before he passed...

We love playing this game. It’s super relaxing and strangely addictive, we don’t have a surface big enough to use all the cards but we are going to figure it out! This was the only game we have found to play that my mother with alzheimers can still play. She had a blast and took it home to play with my dad. A great Christmas present! My twelve year old also loved it so it’s really an all around win.

We bought one set for our family and gave a second set for Christmas to family. We’ve only touched the top of the iceberg with how to play but loved the engagement and creativity.

I had the most wonderful time playing this game with my son. He is usually very into rules and doing things just like the instructions say, so it was fun to see him get so excited about such an open ended creative challenge. Plus, it’s GORGEOUS. I can’t decide whether to play with the cards or frame them!

First time playing with OuiSi and we loved it. Great photos with interesting colors, shapes, textures - fun to discover what's in your hand with each draw from the deck. Kind of like a mini visit to an art gallery! My friend and I are writers by trade, so really embraced immersing ourselves in imagery to balance our brain use. We only did the basic guidance to get going, but made up some 'rules' of our own as we went along. For example, we ran out of space on the tabletop and decided to move one...

I have kids ages 6-16. It’s hard to find a game we all like. So far we’ve not played a competitive version and it’s nice to have something that isn’t, it’s more relaxing. I bought it for my 6 year old, but honestly, my 16 year old is the one who likes it the most! I love how open ended it is. I bought it as a gift for my kids gifted teacher and also for a therapist friend.

My grand kids live far away, so I haven’t yet had the chance to “play” OuiSi with anyone. But I’ve played it solo, and love it. The concept is brilliant. The photos are stunning and the cards beautifully produced. I like the combination of easily recognizable objects and others that are abstract. I’m sure my 3 year old will readily find matches based on color or shape, while her 7 year old sister will match according to more abstract concepts. Look forward to watching them explore.

In our home we have a 15 year old with ASD, a 12 year old, and a 6 year old....and all three LOVE playing this game together... we play just with connecting our pictures together and it is a joy to listen them explain to each other why their pictures belong together. We say “What’s your connection?” No wrong answer and it is really interesting to get glimpses into their Individual thought process.

My 8th grade art students enjoyed playing the connections game, then asked if they could sort all the cards by color! They raved about the interesting photos. I love everything about this...even all alone, it’s fun to sort through, like my grandmas button box

Just opened the box this afternoon and played a couple of "free association" games with my 7-yr. old granddaughter. We had fun and it was a nice end to her at-home school day. Next time we'll read the booklet and try a more structured game, but it was fun just to talk with her about what elements we saw in each picture.

We have played the game twice so far. It is so interesting to see the connections that my family makes between the pictures. Some choices are cheered and others demand explanation. I love hearing the passionate defense of card placement. The photographs are beautiful.

I have bought three sets to give as gifts to families with young children. I need a set for me. Very well done game of perception. The photo show a 3,11 and 16 year old all playing together. What more could you ask?!

We love OuiSi! Gorgeous photos on quality stock and best of all it challenges and develops the player's creative instincts. Wonderful to share among players of all generations, as well as playing alone.

We played with 6 and 7 year olds. It was a little tricky for them to get it right away but they kept working on it. The picture shows them matching the card to Mama's shirt.

What a creative, fun, imaginative, engaging “game.” I bought one for us and one for my 10 year old grandson, and it’s a wonderful way to spend time telling stories and watching our quirky, funny, thoughtful senses of the world be expressed. Love this!

I purchased three OuiSi sets as holiday gifts, and I highly recommend them. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I gave the OuiSi Original set to a family with a toddler and a grandparent with advanced dementia; my hope is that they will be able to interact and play together by making simple connections of common everyday objects. I bought the OuiSi Nature set for a young, game-loving family who enjoy adventuring and the outdoors. I purchased the Getty Museum edition for my three-generation family; living in Los Angele...

I work as a community mental health therapist with children and families and this is one of my very favorite ways to engage with my clients. It’s perfect for assessing how kids make connections and process, and it’s a great way to help parents learn more about how their kid sees their world. The cards are so interesting to kids that we frequently forget the game we were playing and get distracted by learning about the pictures! I have never had a kid or family not be excited to use OuiSi!

I bought the game in hopes it would be good for my kids to play with their grandmother over the holidays. It was their first time being able to visit in person in 4 years so I wanted to be sure to have something they could play together despite my mom’s significant memory issues. This game was perfect. The flexibility of play, leisurely pace, and ability to make your own associations between the interesting photos was perfect for us and led to a few hours of play on a more than one day of our vi...

I bought OuiSi for my Dad for Christmas. He is in the middle stage of mixed dementia and has expressive aphasia. He really liked the game! We played with my Mom. It was simple, expressive, creative, not frustrating. We played two games over an hour. We made collective art! We hope you like our creations. For the game we played, we dealt out 5 cards each. For a round, first player got to choose any card they like by color, and the other two players had to match and put their card down next to the...

The images are stunning! It’s a perfect way to bring a family together to create, communicate and laugh! I found that after I played the game, I saw more details and patterns in the world around me. I highly recommend this game to anyone!
