My family played the spiral version- loved it! I expect to use it for my coaching work too!
Melinda C.
Love OuiSi! I use it to try and spark my creativity that I feel I lost after a head injury. I think it’s working.
I Also gifted this to a friend and to my 5 year old grandson and he loves it too!
C L.
Great photos. Good quality.
Larry G.
A very interesting idea. The night the game came my wife and I played it for about two hours... the wine didn't hurt. Many ways to play. We can't wait to bring the kids, grandkids and my folks (with memory issues) the game to play.
karin w.
I initially bought the set for my prekindergarten class. When I went thru it myself I thought it was to mature for them. I play the cards myself. With the pandemic there's not anyone to play with yet. The images and colors are vivid.
Theresa S.
Gave it as a gift to grandkids ages 7 & 9. They love it!
Jessica O.
It has become a favorite for my Elementary age kids
Susan P.
Fun to play with the whole family. The pictures are beautiful and thought provoking. The cards are a perfect thickness, and there are tons of them! We will be playing for a long time to come. Thanks for your work on this wonderful game.

Waiting to play after vaccines with my 5 y.o. and 7 y.o. grandchildren, 4 hours away

Our 5 year old enjoys storytelling and dominoes with OuiSi. I had been eyeing OuiSi since seeing their FB ads but hesitant due to the price until I was lured in by a deal. I was nervous my child would get bored easily but it has held her interest so far (it’s not been a month so too early to say). I think the game will age well due to the thick quality of the cards and multi-game play. It could be used as a calm transitional activity to bedtime. It’s a great activity to get the creativity flowing for all ages!
Keith J.
Bought it for 3 1/2 year-old twin grandchildren. So far, we have enjoyed it a few times, but I think it will offer more as their attention spans expand. We've used them successfully for storytelling, matching, and just looking and talking about what they see. In that latter case, the cards can be used for vocabulary-building.
Janet C.
Our 5-year old grandchild likes very much to compare the tiles to each other, to make a dominoes-like game of it, and to compare them to real-life items. The tiles are beautiful and calming to see. Fine imaginations at work created Ouisi!
Margaret S.
Such a conversation starter—so many ways to play. Eager to try it out with my elderly in-laws and my pre-school grandchild!
Frances W.
I love OuiSi! Because of the pandemic I haven't been able to play it with the neighborhood kids. I have been playing alone and trying different ways to use the cards. Finding connections can be as simple or as complex as a player wants to make it. I find I don't overthink it if I make a decision quickly and don't demand an explanation and justification. I have to remember I'm not getting graded on this. :D
That was an important lesson for me to learn before I play OuiSi with children. If they volunteer an explanation, I'll listen but I plan just to enjoy the time spent together after the pandemic ends.
I ordered two sets with the plan of laminating one set to make the cards easier to disinfect. The children will get the laminated set and I'll keep the other. Then, we could play via Zoom. I'm working on that now so I don't have to wait.
Thank you for creating such visually wonderful learning materials!
Bonnie H.
It seems very well made. Great packaging. I haven’t had chance to try it out yet. It’s a gift for my granddaughter’s 5th birthday.
Susan H.
Photo cards are gorgeous. Fun and creative way to hone association skills for all ages.
robin w.
Super fun eye candy thats got "scope for the imagination" as Anne of GG would say. So thrilling to see where each new card and relationship takes me. Can't wait to see a Nature deck! One of the main reasons I bought Ouisi was to use as an activity through my conservation non-profit to help stimulate the kind of attention and seeing needed for connecting to nature. As an artist, I also enjoy being confronted with so many shapes, textures and colors that are from our everyday life but made fresh in the perspectives used on the cards.
Susan B.
14 yr old instantly invented an elaborate game that works.
Marianne A.
I bought this to give to a friend who is in rehab from malignant brain tumor surgery. I am hoping she will find these useful in her rehabilitation.
I love the pictures and concept and hope she will too.
Debra R.
It was a gift to grandchildren.
karen l.
I teach preschool and was so excited when I found this game over the summer. The children absolutely love playing it as a group and I am blown away at how some of them "find" connections. It's so exciting to watch the game play out with 10 different personalities of 4-5 year olds. I love the way the game can be played so differently and also allows for creativity to make up ones own game. I thought the game was such a success that I purchased a copy for a colleague of mine. Thank you!
Carolynn L.
We are using Ouisi cards to inspire weaving designs. Also, we are using them for found sound inspiration and for creative movement inspiration. So gorgeous!
Catolyn C.
Was great tool getting 7 year old grandson to verbally express his reasoning for choosing each particular picture.
Sara C.
My 7 year old specifically asks to play. He told me he Loves it!
We play so that there are no wrong answers. If you can explain the relationship, as you see it, between the two images then it is the perfect card to play. Improves observation skills and verbal articulation.
This game is a big hit!
Mary S.
Quick delivery. Just as promised. Cards are beautiful. The whole family loves it, all four generations. Our 5 year old great -grandson really likes to play it. He sees thing that we miss sometimes and it’s a great learning tool. Thanks for a great product!
Frances P.
We've had lots of fun with this game. And the customer service was wonderful! After our instruction booklet went missing (I suspect our toddler granddaughter) you sent us another one very quickly.
Laura S.
I actually purchased this with our younger grandchildren in mind, and haven’t played with them yet! We’ve pulled these out three times since we got them a few weeks ago just to sit and relax finding ways to connect these fabulous cards. Great to have around. Will definitely be buying these as a nice family gift.
Julie G.
Beautiful images. We had a couple cocktails and then played a cross between dominoes and storytelling. The card you placed had to somehow relate to the previous card in a story. There was a lot of giggling.
Jamison W.
Great game for family togetherness/mindfulness. All ages (with some help for the younger). Wish some of the pictures weren’t so dark. Overall, very happy with the purchase!
Suzanne J.
We love the flexibility of this game. My six year old grandson loves to modify the rules of any game. With Ouisi all his rules make perfect sense! It’s a perfect pastime for kids and adults to enjoy together.
Maureen C.
Very cool to see how my partner's mind works in matching similar things! I love the images, and love the conversations they inspire.
Cindy D.
I love everything about the photo cards. A person is limited only by their imagination when finding ways to use them. They are unlike any other board game or puzzle or matching game. My six-year-old grandson and I play via Zoom.
Deborah L.
We had family at the table ranging from 4 years old to 80. Even a non game lover or two. Everyone enjoyed the experience. It's very interesting to watch our brains make connections isn't it. Sometimes we had to wonder aloud "Huh? Why did you select that card?" The responses were surprising, not readily apparent and simultaneously logical. Playing with someone on the autism spectrum really amped up the rationale storytelling. Having members of another culture at the table also made for interesting commentary. We loved it.
karol t.
As a therapist I’m sure there will be many chances to use this with kids and adults.
Harmony M.
We.adults auditioned it and will use it next time my 3 year grand daughter comes over. The kind of pictures I love to take-micro landscapes!
Gary H.
We gifted 3 sets for Valentine's day to our grandchildren and reviews from them have all been 2 thumbs up! Can't wait until post Covid to play it with them!!
Thanks for creating such a wonderful new, fun game!!!
Lynne G.
We really enjoyed passing winter break playing this game! We even created “alternate” rules of our own when we ran out of table space
ANNE B.
It's so unique and flexible....Grandkids (and I) can create games and challenges based on whatever they desire!
Aren S.
The cards are so beautiful and are sturdy and easy to hold. So far we've done free associating games with them and it's been a lot of fun. I can also see them being used as writing and drawing prompts. I highly recommend this beautiful set. I especially appreciate being able to use it in non-competitive play and to support creative thinking in adults and kids.
Vicki C.
We use the cards in many ways. We match by color, shapes, topic and wherever our imagination takes us. We love this product.
Suzanne K.
We have loved playing OuiSi with our 5 year old. It is wonderful having a game that can be played so many ways and doesn't involve reading. Such a great brain building experience for the whole family!
Joanne T.
Great way to keep the brain in shape while we spend our days at home! So interesting to look at the beautiful photos in different ways and think of creative connections.
Maiaika V.
Its a cool game for my special needs son to see how he relates things.
Barbara T.
Love this. I bought three as holiday gifts for my granddaughters. They enjoy arranging the brightly colored pictures in patterns that they see, and get points from their sisters for creativity and reasoning.
I had to buy another to keep at my house and play with my husband!
Kathleen G.
Beautiful photos, many possibilities
Michelle D.
I had high hopes for this game because the photographs are beautiful. I was hoping to play it with adults in ways similar to the game "Spot It" (OuiSi's directions for some ways to play are similar to Spot It). OuiSi's connections can be broadly interpreted, can be both negative and positive. It's negative for adults who may want a more competitive game and positive for children whose imagination one would want to encourage.
Terri G.
I bought this for my grandchildren to play with when they visit. At 6 and 8, they are, perhaps, a little young. We enjoyed just "matching" the pictures and explaining our reasoning behind the matches. I think they will come to enjoy it more as they get a bit older and we try different ways of playing. Covid has, unfortunately, limited our time together.
Mary K P.
I gave it to my daughter and grandson, age 8! We played it a little and they seemed to like it!
I think over time it will be used a lot by my grandson and daughter who is an art teacher.
I enjoyed it and would buy it again!
Elizabeth W.
We love OuiSi. It gets our kids thinking in a different way and gives our more visual learner a chance to shine. It's a quality product.
Kathy S.
Fascinating and fun deck of cards which expose the perception of other players! Love the images on the cards, each card is like a piece of art!
Robin R.
I was so intrigued by the variety of photos-textures, odd view points, colors, patterns that I immediately wanted to make some of my own from my naturalists point of view. Using glossy magazines, many nature oriented, I used my newly attuned ouisi eyes to cut out dozens of squares to mount on card stock and formed a personalized second set of cards. As a crafting geek this provided hours and days of fun. Since then I have played several kinds of solitary games using 1 or both decks.
Pebbles S.
It is a lot of fun and inspirational in the classroom!
Anita O.
I love patterns and decided to purchase this game because the photos were beautiful and it is an open ended game with so many different ways of seeing. I felt it would be a great conversation started game for adult parties as well as with children.
Sarah H.
It’s been fun for my girls ages 3,5,8. They can all play with the cards and sort in different open ended ways that don’t require reading skills! We haven’t tackled the specified games yet but really enjoy these as a creative tool and open ended activity.
Laura J.
Our whole family loves the variety of play we enjoy with this game!
Barbara T.
Not all pictures were engaging.
Karen J.
As a "matching game" my daughter likes it. We find things that the cards have in common and play it like dominos. She is 4. We have not played many of the other games yet because they require me to teach them to her or do them with her. I may try the drawing game with her next.
Linda B.
I love the photos! So unique. I also love the multiple cooperative ways it can be played. I have played it with adults and sent a set to my nephew for his kids. Can’t wait to play it with my grandson, once I am able to see him in person.
Monica E.
I absolutely love this game. I originally purchased two sets to use the gorgeous photo cards in activities for my leadership training workshops. I bought another set to use for family game nights, and have given several sets as gifts. No matter how you use Ouisi, everyone loves it!
Suki D.
Gave them as gifts to family members. All love them from 3years to 94
Leslie S.
I'm single, so I've carried it to friends, who are intrigued. On my own, I find it a visual feast, especially laid out by color, and meditative. My next activity will be to choose a random card daily to use as a writing prompt. If I come up with anything worthwhile, I'll share!
Pia K.
This is an amazing game for people of all ages - very adaptable to interests and attention spans, and fascinating to all!
Ellen A.
I bought it to use to interact with my 5-year-old grandchild. We have played with it only twice. I expect to get plenty of use from the game over the next few years.
Linda S.
I bought this for my sister’s grandchildren. They beg to play with it!
Carly H.
I work in a school and enjoy using this with individuals and small groups to make connections together!
Catherine S.
I only played once. It wasn’t as fun as I thought it would be.
Susan K.
PURCHASED IT FOR OUR SON, DAUGHTER-IN-LAW AND GRANDSON (AGE 11). THEY HAVE REALLY ENJOYED IT AND HAVE TRIED SOME ADDITIONAL WAYS TO PLAY IT. EXAMPLE: EACH PLAYER STARTS WITH 3 CARDS , EACH IN A SEPARATE LOCATION, THEN PLAYERS CAN PLAY NEXT TO ANY OF THE 3 CARDS. GREAT CHOICE FOR A CHRISTMAS GIFT!
Janis W.
Is a cool, creative game, but a bit hard to figure out all of the (potential, possible) rules for a bunch of beginners. Also, the competitive game suggestions are all for ages 10+ and our competitive 5yo was less satisfied with "creative play only" options.
Heidi W.
My mom and I sat down and played fir three hours as soon as mine arrived. We did a freestyle dominoes type game, but I really want to try some of the more structured competitive games. I also love getting out a card and trying to develop a pattern for drawing/doodling in my Zentangle hobby, based on the image I select.
The quality is tops, the colors and patterns are exceptional, and the chance for non-screen time is great
Heike G.
The photo cards engage the entire family in a calm and creative way. There are so many options to play with them. Some cards are just like riddles by themselves, others come in a collection of colors, shapes, themes,.. there’s a lot to discover within this pack of photo cards.
Corina S.
My daughter and mum love this game, an immediate family hit!
Kathy P.
I bout this for my grandson, but Mother’s Day arose, and I didn’t have a gift for my mom. She is 77 and loves puzzles and games. It was a hit! We all played it, and even I, a puzzle hater, an impatient game player, absolutely love it!!!
deborah q.
This was a gift for my daughter and her family, which includes 2 boys, ages 6 and 8. Her husband loved the photos on the cards, which are beautiful. What's great is that the way they play it there's little to no competition, so the younger one doesn't feel left out. It's all just fun.
Elaine &.
I gave two of these as Christmas gifts but I don't know yet how the recipients liked them.
Rachel M.
I purchased a copy of this for my own family during the pandemic lockdown, and it is loved by young and old alike! I ordered a copy for a coworker who teaches art, and she loves it so much she uses it in her classes and gifted copies to each of her siblings for the holidays. I helped spread the OuiSi love far and wide!
Virginia B.
Was pleased to give it as a Christmas gift. Grandson and family liked as an alternative to video games and Magic cards.
Linda K.
I had bought the game primarily to play with my granddaughter. Because of Covid, she cannot come to my house yet and I have only been with her out of doors (before winter hit).
Because I love to draw, I was attracted to your game and the idea of her relating to form and color as well as to a defined object. You might want to send me your request again -- I'd guess in late May or early June -- so I can really let you know in what ways the game has been successful.
I imagine I will play it with adults as well once we can gather together. The concept is fabulous!
Ronnie A.
The cards are enchanting, there are so many ways to use them!
1st time out of the box just a “look see”, but with ideas expressed how to play with them.
Already, 2 friends have bought them for their grandchildren!
Susannah S.
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!
Sharon D.
Reports indicate it was a hit with my granddaughter and her Dad.
Carla V.
It’s been an interesting experience as we use it to deal with memory loss and verbalizing.
Tracy W.
It was a gift for my granddaughter and she loves it.
Rebecca E.
This is a wonderful way to help we linear thinkers to see beyond the obvious. I played it with my 5 year-old grandson and he began to see beyond his first observation. I look forward to playing it with him and with the entire family.
Holly H.
The pictures are great and really make you think outside the box when matching the cards up. I think my grandkids will love playing it with me.
Audrey S.
The games are collaborative and fun - they have enabled me and my family members to learn more about communication styles and thought processes. I do wish there was a more competitive version of a game to play, but I see that is difficult with the subjective nature of the photos. We still love the game and love that everyone wins!
Barbara H.
Just as I first opened the box with my 4 year old Granddaughter and Daughter-In-Law next to me, we were "off to the Races" with laying out the images and playing with the connections!
The little one at one point picked up and left,(understandable for her age), then returned to join in once again!
Perfect for a mental time out, especially with a pandemic!
Thank Your Creators!
Best Barbara
Donna S.
I was so delighted with this that I purchased two for gifts!
Kathy B.
Played one of the games with 2 adult daughters. It was interesting but they weren't interested in another.
derrick s.
Pretty cool, photos seem mostly urban, and color style is a bit dingy but ok, I’d like to see more variety
Elizabeth A.
This was a gift to our children/grandchildren. They all loved it! It provided games, art projects, and all manner entertainment and fun.
Sharon B.
We only played it once with our grandgirls. They enjoyed it but weren’t thrilled. We gave it to their family and they liked it but sent it back to us. I think because the girls are at home in school, they are overwhelmed with things to do.
We will play again when we get to see them again.
Janice W.
Played it for the first time with a couple of friends. We had fun trying three different versions, the basic where the cards had to connect on all sides, a story line (became very ridiculous quickly) and my favorite was connected by shapes. I can see the deck expanding over time (additional decks by color or other themes) Quite fun for artistic types and asks the viewers to consider other ways of seeing!
Susan S.
I ordered OUISI to have something different in our game collection and cannot be more pleased with the purchase. The cards are so interesting and imaginative. We played one game already and thoroughly enjoyed it. My 92 year mother enjoyed trying to figure out the identity of the pictures! I can't wait for when we are able to invite our friends with children over to play OUISI. Thank you.
Janis C.
Got this for my very visual 7 year old niece. It arrived very quickly which was awesome. All the adults in the family took turns playing the game. I loved that it was so relaxed and not competitive just really amazing pictures to look at. We played much longer than we’ve ever played any game with her because we all liked looking at the pictures. She played with the cards by herself when she got home for another hour. Highly recommend ! I asked her dad to bring the game back this weekend when they come so we can play again . I’m going to do a pastel art project with her using the cards. Very visually stimulating - simply beautiful photos!
Wendy C.
We bought this for Christmas for our family. The pictures are beautiful! I really like how many different ways you can play with these cards.
Constance L K.
It's amazing how you can get lost in making trains even in solitude. We created a few games like Fish and Rummy to further intrigue the more competitive children and adults.
Shannie C.
Our extended family had a great time playing OuiSi over the holidays - everyone ages six to 72. Afterwards, I bought my own OuiSi game to stimulate my own creativity. The beautifully photographed cards are inspiring, providing players with an opportunity to have fun and use one's imagination at the same time.
garnet b.
8,14,48,71 year olds, playing this together for hours! I have recommended to a friend, she got hers last Friday and loves it!
Lisa Patricia B.
This has so many ways to play. What is also nice is that it is good for any age and an unlimited number of players.
The pictures are beautiful and diverse and the cards and their box is well crafted!
Armida A.
Love the game. All ages can play together. Very good quality; worth the money.
