Flexible game fun with our four year old. We’ve adopted some rules provided and found the game is entertaining for adults and kids. I can see how the play will evolve with us over time.

I haven't seen the game myself but my brother said it was an excellent quality product. This is a picture of my 99 year old mother engrossed in play. I'm very happy she has it to help keep her entertained in the nursing home in Iowa. Thank you for your help. Connie

I love my OuiSi cards. I’m visually oriented, so they are a very enjoyable source of entertainment and relaxation. For me, it’s very meditative to match up the cards. Only problem is that I need a bigger table! Thanks for creating such a stimulating game. I’ll be buying more for friends!

We are really enjoying the game. We have tried a few versions of Ouisi, including using it with Apples to Apples cards (which picture in your hand fits best with "angry"?) and Dixit (which of you cards fits best with the caption given?).

I’ve been using Ouisi in my classroom for less than a week and I and my students—4K through Grade 12– absolutely LOVE it. In this photo, one of my more difficult students spent the entire class period laying out all of the cards just to see al of the images. The range of games/activities that can be done with the cards is amazing. I have 2 sets of each version and am just in awe of their beauty. THANK YOU!!!

Love it. Use it as school with students weekly -if not daily. Throw it into the mix at home to break routines. Excellent customer service with a shipping problem. Thank you!

Our young gifted and talented students worked cooperatively to discuss and place the photo cards. There were great conversations utilizing academic and social vocabulary. They showed stamina and problem solving. They’ve also spent time individually looking through the pictures and without prompting, grouped them by perceived topic (all animals, all wheels etc). They’ve asked for more decks so we’ll have to budget those in for next year.

We started out on our small homemade patio table...ran off the edge. This is the original game...we also got the new Nature set and love the QR codes...we have a friend who asked tons of questions about the first set so we now have answers about the second set. Great game, great quality.

We are using them in our elementary school library media center to help students incorporate science and make connections. Patterns in nature, structures in nature and categories of nature all align with our curriculum.

I am an art teacher and got this set for a start of the school year activity. It gave me an opportunity to observe my students and their levels of creativity, teamwork, listening, and so much more. I was able to teach a few different games with the classes and my students REALLY enjoyed the images. I will likely be picking up a game for my mom and sister who are school counselors and therapists respectively and I think it could be used as a great tool in their practices as well.

I’m an assistant manager at a small residential home for adults with mild to moderate dementia and recently purchased OuiSi as a house gift. To introduce it I simply spread the cards across the dining room table and waited. Throughout the day, 5 out of 8 residents sat down with the cards and spent time arranging them to their liking. It sparked conversation and laughter, and I saw some of my friends engaged in a way I had never seen before! I love this game and what I can do.

Loved it! We really enjoyed the codes on each card so we could get information about each picture. I purchased it to find a way to interact with my aging father and it was fun!

This game is just brilliant and such a fun, collaborative experience. The customer service is amazing as well. USPS messed up, but Oui Si made sure I got my order!

There are a million different ways that a teacher can use this in the classroom. The photos are gorgeous, and the activities are educationally sound. Highly recommend. Five stars!! Sandy Halbrook, LMFT, LPC / Missouri

We used this in our school library so each class could learn how to play. I used photo album sheets so I could wipe them down between classes. So many connections were made—and that is our priority this year! Thank you!

My 5th grade art students loved using these cards. This was only half the class here and I introduced the cards as a way to compare and better see similarities in shapes, patterns, and colours..the exact colours. This is a lesson which precedes a lesson on pareidolia, and later in the year, on found object sculpture. I’m hoping it will help them to be more thoughtful in seeing corresponding or shared criteria of objects. This is not always easy - making matches in texture for instance means bein...

I teach art to special needs students. I find that the magnificent photos in Ouisi are so thought-provoking we sometimes get lost in the "What the heck is this?!!#??*!" The pics promote unique perspectives and great conversations about different view points. I see Shelley coming up with more ways (other than shape, color, pattern, function, etc.) to explain the "likeness". I feel her mind reaching. I hear her explanations and debates on "why". Shelley is always right. We play Ouisi for hours, mu...

We are loving Ouisi! The game came with more suggestions for ways to play than I expected. We have only begun to learn them and are having a great time!

I am a 6th grade classroom teacher, and I purchased 8 sets of cards for my table groups. We used them for 2 straight weeks at the opening of the school year for ice breaker games, community building, and art projects. We were able to do something completely different each day, and the students loved them. They want to now work to earn a monthly "OUISI Day"!

I just got my Ouisi and have been using it to occupy my eyes while having to listen to challenging conference calls. For those of use who are easily distracted, giving eyes and hands something to do actually increases our ability to listen! Ouisi is perfect for this! I have been creating panels of cards that go well together and after a while, you don't think about fit any more but it just feels right and placement becomes a lot of fun and intuitive. Great for calming the mind when to have to co...

I love this game! My older children love this game! I have used it in my classroom already and the kids absolutely love it. They are high school age students! Some of them even asked where they could buy it!

OuiSi has been a wonderful game to play with my Mom, particularly during more challenging afternoons and evenings. We look at the pictures and the colors and talk about what we see. It’s relaxing and engaging.

As a photographer, I love the opportunity to develop my children’s visual literacy. I also love that there are so many different ways to play. I’ve recommended it to all my mom friends.

I am a retired Kindergarten and First Grade Teacher. Several years ago, I purchased the original OuiSi for my grandchildren. We had an enjoyable time talking about the connections we made with our cards. Most recently, I bought the Nature edition of OuiSi to play with an elderly friend who has developed Alzheimer’s. Together, we are making connections with patterns, colors, and objects. I’ve been encouraging my friend to describe details, shapes, colors, similarities, and other observations...

We used OuiSi to make connections between our intergenerational team at work. Everyone was able to engage with it. What a hit!

I do not play games nor do I do puzzles .. to be honest I get bored easily with them . i don’t like that fact but have resolved that these past times are just not for me. Fast forward to having my first grandchild... I thought this looked like something I could TOLERATE in the name of spending quality time with my little .. . My package arrived.. I opened it up just to take a peek at the quality if the cards.. Then i started making connections. And connections And connections. Mindless...

I play this primarily with my 4 and 6-yo granddaughters. I am *amazed* at the connections they are able to make. They can even tell me stories to explain matches. And they learn! One picture of oil pastels led to an impromptu art session. I love having this interactive time with them rather than them just watching TV! I sure hope you make supplemental sets in the future!

Eastley, S.

We got this out, and my kids immediately engaged with it. I didn't even have to tell them what to do-- all the suggested activities in the booklet were cool, but they just started making connections on their own. They were absorbed for a long time, and I was fascinated by the connections they made-- stuff I never would have thought of! I can't wait to use this with my students at school. It is such a great way to learn to think about the world in new ways.

I am a K-5 STEAM teacher and have been looking for creative visual ways to help my students grasp the concept of Systems Thinking. When I found Ouisi, it was the perfect solution. I used this game in class to help my youngest students practice the skill of observation, sorting, and patterning. Because I am teaching in the classroom while practicing Covid safety guidelines, I laminated the full deck of cards, distributed 10 to each child, then sanitized each card afterwards. It was a lot of work,...

Tonight is game night and our 6yo picked that game to play! She loves it except the "poop" picture (the 3 coffee beans 😜). If I have any negative/constructive feedback is to add more colors! Kids love the pencils and gummy bears 😂😂😂

We couldn’t love this game more! The engagement of my kids is a delight to see... their creativity, their insights, their vision - all overflowing within the first 10 minutes of play. Alone, or with all five of us together, this game is a HIT! Can’t wait to use it as inspiration for writing stories with the kids.

I live OuiSi! So far I have only been able to play solitaire because hubby wasn’t interested, but will be friends soon, many who are teachers and I think we’ll have a blast. I covered my lapboard so that each picture matched something on all that touched. Some were color, some were shapes, some were concepts. Once the board was full, I started working up match the ones underneath as well and side by side til I ended up with this. It was fun going through the stacks of photos and finding the bes...

Ordered this on Friday, got it Monday. On Tuesday I shared with my 7th grade students. We played ouisi-onimoes and they covered two tables with connections. Even my reluctant participants had a good time. The QR codes on the back were EXTREMELY popular. Even struggling readers were looking up the information to learn more about the subject! A success all around.

I ordered Ouisi first for my family, as I was looking for an fun game that’d be accessible for my kindergartner, as well as my middle schooler. This game did not disappoint. The nature photos are so visually captivating and I love the open-ended nature of this game. At the end, we all got to choose one card and take a guess of what we thought it was depicting before scanning and looking it up! So fun! Then Ouisi was generous enough to donate some sets to different organizations and they selected...

I purchased this game for my students (middle school, English Language Learners) after a fellow teacher introduced it to me. I loved how this game promoted a relaxing and pressure-free experience that I could also use to get my English Language Learners talking. They can work on speaking skills and, specifically, skills like catagorizing, using details, and justifying their thinking in a stree-free environment. After playing it just once they ask to play every class period!

we have loved playing OuiSi with our kids (ages 5 & 7). the game encourages imaginative thinking, close observation and clear communication. the photos are so interesting and beautiful, and everything about the game (from the photos to the cards to the box) is high quality. so far we have played the non-competitive versions, making connections between the cards, but I look forward playing different variations as they get older and are ready for new challenges, and appreciate the suggested variat...

We love this game! The whole family can play it--and in our case that includes the 4-year-old! A great way to stretch your imagination and think outside of the box! We think everyone should have an opportunity to laugh together, use their imaginations, and discover new ways of looking at things with all of the wonderful, intriguing pictures.

We have played a bunch with friends and family. It’s an easy way for people who aren’t usually into games to play. We love the awesome images, and the way Ouisi spurs conversation that spans ages.

Ouisi is a great game for all generations! We've played with kids (5 and 8), their parents and their grandparents. It makes you think, get creative and have a bunch of fun!

This game is so beautiful. I think about it all the time- using it for writing prompts, the first part of a drawing, or a morning visual perspective change. My friend and I played and then she and her husband played with my kids. Everyone had fun!
