HOW TO PLAY...1
MAKE SOME VISUAL CONNECTIONS
OuiSi Photo Cards Visually Connect based on shared patterns, shapes and colors. Each Photo Card has 10-20 matches, meaning thousands of Visual Connections in a box, each a delightful "aha!" moment. You simply can't play the same game twice.
HOW TO PLAY...2
CHOOSE 1 OF 12 WAYS TO PLAY.
When you get the hang of Visual Connections, choose one of the 12 games and activities from the Guidebook. The most popular way to play is OuiSinoes (the first game in the Guidebook), a visual version of dominoes. It's accessible yet fun and engaging for all (including caregivers and family)!
WHY DOES OUISI WORK?
First, there aren't a lot of rules to keep in mind. So, there isn't much pressure about remembering "how" to play.
Second, the games aren't competitive, so players don't need to worry about getting something "wrong."
Third, pictures are evocative, acting as stepping stones for conversation.
And last...OuiSi is FUN! Whether you are an Activities Director at a seniors center or a caregiver, OuiSi is engaging and joyful for all.

What if some cards get lost or damaged?
No problem. Play isn't dependent on any particular card, so you can lose or damage some and the set is still 100% usable.
What professions use OuiSi?
In no particular order, here are the vastly different professional uses for OuiSi:
TEACHERS: We've actually created a dedicated page for educators of all sorts, found here. In a nutshell, OuiSi has proven to be an excellent resource for teachers across disciplines, usable the entire school year.
THERAPISTS: Conversations are sometimes difficult to initiate, especially if the topics are hard or sensitive. OuiSi provides the opportunity to build rapport with clients, one bite-sized creative share at a time.
SLPs: Similar to therapists, conversations are sometimes difficult to initiate when confidence is low. Because conversation is often a byproduct of OuiSi play, SLPs can guide conversations through play rather than hitting exercises head-on.
OPTOMETRISTS: Admittedly, we never saw this one coming (pun intended)! OuiSi games, with their visually stimulating photo cards, offer a valuable tool for vision therapy. These games enhance visual processing, attention, and coordination by encouraging players to explore patterns, colors, and connections. For optometrists, OuiSi provides a playful yet effective method to engage patients in exercises that improve visual perception and cognitive skills, making therapy more interactive and enjoyable.
FACILITATORS: Sometimes a room full of adults can be a bit stiff. But OuiSi can break the ice with some bite-sized creative sharing. When teammates can share and be curious about basic creative ideas, it builds a rapport for greater collaboration.
What ages, and how many players?
Ages: when we say "made for ages 4 to 104," we mean it. Visual Connections tap into a unique and innate human intelligence. We don't get better at Visual Connections as we age...in fact, don't be surprised if the kids at the game table see connections that the adults don't.
Number of Players: OuiSi is VERY flexible in this way. It's enjoyable solo. It's a terrific for just two players. But you can also enjoy in larger groups, from 2 to 12. In fact, we know of groups as large as 25 who have used just one set (though we generally recommend the combo of OuiSi Original and OuiSi Nature for groups larger than 10).
