Photos are spectacular. Grown ups enjoyed the art and figuring out what things were. Small people liked matching things up.
Pat W.
They are Christmas gifts which have not been as yet given!
Bonnie W.
I've been using the cards as prayer prompts teaching children to imagine new things & people to prayer about. These cards expand their understanding, too.
I look forward to using them as matching cards, too.

The quality of the blocks was a big disappointment. I assumed they would be molded, but instead they are very lightweight plastic with paper stickers attached. The stickers were already peeling off of a few blocks when I took them out of the package.
Lura N.
We love playing this with our kindergartner. Great for all sorts of games!
Jessica V.
The perfect images for provocations in my Reggio classroom!

I purchased this as a Christmas gift. We are now in the month of October so the gift has yet to be given, seen, or played. However, Ouisi has asked for a review anyway. So far I like the pictures and the idea of flexible rules of engagement which allow a wide age range of users. My family’s ages range from two to seventy two including an adult with severe developmental delays. Ouisi offers the best possibility that all will be able to participate to some degree. Ask me again in January and I’ll tell you how it goes.
Diane S.
My homeschool kids love it. Now, if I could just get my husband to play with me!!
Lisa C.
I bought this in order to give me something to do with my mother-in-law who is in some mental decline. It was interesting to see how her brain worked in putting pictures together and why they fit, in her mind. I love the pictures, wish I had thought of making this since I love photography. I think it will be a good activity for many different types of situations where you need to use your brain to think of why something is similar.

I love the versatility of OuiSi. There are many games that are detailed in the instruction booklet not to mention potential new games as there are endless possibilities of what you can do with the cards. OuiSi is a game(s) that truly spans the ages. I played it the other night with my parents in their mid 80’s. I look forward to playing with kids as they have the best imaginations!
I also have to share my experience with the customer support team. They responded to my email immediately and fixed the problem in no time at all. Even when the problem was not their fault.
I will be buying more and sending them as gifts for the holidays. Kudos to the entire OuiSi team!
Laura M.
We have so much fun playing Ouisi as a family. All ages can play and we laugh and learn so much about how each of us sees the world!
Lyn F.
Well made, amazing photos, imaginative and a lot of fun! We've had players ranging from 5 year olds to 75 year olds and they have all enjoyed this game.
DOROTHY B.
I took this one to an assisted living facility. They are enjoying the pictures are are finding different ways to engage the residents.
Catherine D.
I played OuiSi with my 7 year old niece and my 75 year old mom this past weekend, and we loved making connections between images.
Kimberley P.
What a wonderfully magical way to "play!" The cards are beautiful and really allow one to be creative and think outside of the box!
CYNTHIA S.
Haven't really gotten in to it all yet. Know I like the creativity of it.
Whitney A.
Flexible fun for all ages! Our 5 year old can play along, too.
Donna H.
My autistic grandson loves this!
Deborah T.
I chanced buying OuiSi for my 6 year old granddaughter after reading reviews, andwas not disappointed. Five of us played, ages ranging from 6 to 74, and we enjoyed each other's insights. Well-done!
Ann E.
I bought this game as a Christmas gift, so I haven’t played it myself. Very nice-looking packaging.
Erika P.
I got this game to play with my kids 4 & 2 years old. The whole family loves it! And it’s so fun to see how their little brains work with the pictures!
Sherri M.
I purchased both items. They are Christmas gifts for my grandson. I can tell you they look to be awesome. Professional packaging and enticing. I'm confident my 12-year-old grandson will love both. Shipping was quick as well.
Megan B.
I bought Ouisi to play with my friend's 7 year old twins. We've only had a chance to play once but we had fun being creative and matching up cards based on color, shape and theme. We are looking forward to exploring all the other 10(!) ways to play in the years to come!
Tess Y.
I teach art for 4th-8th grade students and we use it as a creative warm up, or to talk about different elements of art. It’s been really interesting to see how the kids interpret cards and put things together!
JODI R.
Have only used it twice so far and love it. We’re having a Ouisi game day in early December with 6 of us. Can’t wait!
LISA B.
I bought this to play with our grandchildren. Our 8-year old granddaughter absolutely loved it! She even made up our own game with its own set of rules. It was so much fun and sparked conversation as to why we chose the card we did to play on the table. The pictures are fun, beautiful, and even had us examining some to determine what they were - another creative process in which we used our thinking/reasoning/debate skills. I plan to buy the other set soon!
Mary M.
Extended Family trip to Nashville. Kids aged 2 to 58 played and loved it. Very engaging! We love it!
Olga P.
A fascinating open-ended game for all ages, well, maybe not for toddlers :)
It encourages divergent thinking and communication.
As a retired teacher and a speech-language pathologist, as well as a mother and grandmother, I recommend for families and schools. Possibly, even as an ice-breaker for support groups, therapy, team building etc
Deborah M.
My husband and our adult children loved playing while on vacation. It sparked our imagination--and now we keep connecting images from our every day lives. In a few years we hope to play with our grandchildren.
A K H.
Such a fun time! The photographs are quite amazing!
Santa P.
Delivery was very fast. The game is for a holiday gift, so I won't know if the child likes it till after Christmas.
Rachel M.
We purchased this item with the intention of our children taking this to their grandparents house to play. So far, we did a practice run at home, and my 9 and 13 year old sons and I had so much fun. It kept everyone engaged, and there were a ton of laughs along the way as we stretched our imaginations to make connections. We did the train game version and I think it was the domino like variation, and the stories my kids were coming up with along the way were priceless. We look forward to sharing our next game with more family!
Doris T.
Bought this amazing game as a gift for my granddaughter. So I have no idea yet how it is to play but it looks like there are many choices.
Jody W.
Love them both. Will be buying more!
Lisa L.
My grandson, age 6, loved it! The QR code allowed us to guess what we were looking at, then learn more. Wonderful educational experience!
Jacquelyn S.
It is actually a Christmas present but it is beautiful. The pictures, the colors, so well thought out. After Christmas I will get a picture for you. Thank you
judy k.
I tried this game with two sets of grandchildren many of whom are artistic and bright and the rest are just regular fun games people.
No one loved it. Some thought it might be better for younger kids. It gave us some laughs but we were being silly - which is fine.
Truth is we didn't read all the instructions as to how to play various games. We just played the domino-style game.
Some kids wanted to know how to win but we just played taking turns.
Might try it again if I can convince them to try. Otherwise, I might try selling on eBay.
Great photos! Love how the close-up shots make things look so pretty and you often can't tell right away what's in the photo.
Lori M.
I love the concept but purchased for my grandchildren who live far away. I like the idea of offering something to do that does not involve looking at a digital screen. I also like the idea that it is an intriguing game that tired parents can easily participate in. Unfortunately I’ve not heard back on wether they like it.
Nedda R.
Haven't had a chance to play with children yet.... Love the idea.
Frances G.
Having a hard time figuring this game out. Tried it with college age kids, they didn't like it. Tried it with older adults, nope. It's a beautiful game, but no one likes it!
Ann B.
What a great way to interact with my 14 year old granddaughter! We have such fun thinking creatively about connecting pictures. Lots of laughs and interesting differences in thinking or perception. Love it. It will be a really good gift for our younger ones as well.
Kathy L.
It looks like an amazing game. However, I am giving to my grandkids for Christmas. Therefore, we have not played it yet.
Susan P.
I haven't had a chance to use it with children (specifically a 3 year old) so not a fare review. I love the pictures but I'm having a hard time understanding how to use them with 3 year olds (older children OK) but I read somewhere 'Excellent even for 3 year olds.' I'll tell you after I'vde tried it.
Victoria L.
I am a French teacher and I asked my school to purchase this game for me. I have started to use these wonderful images to make my students talk spontaneously.
They don't want to stop once they get started.
I am looking at various ways to use the game and I will pass it on to my colleagues.
I hope that you get many more sales !
Thanks,
Maryse
Rachel F.
It’s wonderful! We read the rules and decided to do our own thing! We played for hours!
Susan A.
Just opened the box today! Was planning on saving it for a gift, but couldn’t wait any longer!
Janet H.
Great product & great customer service. Our customers love it!
Suzanne U.
I bought three of these for family holiday gifts for the grand-kiddos in our family, and one to keep for them to play here when they come to visit grandma. The photos are lovely, the cards are high quality, and the first time we played, the kids picked up on patterns right away. Looking forward to see how they use this.
Renee P.
We've only played with it once. We'll let you know more when we play with some friends
Jane S.
I played it with my 6 year old grandson and we had a lot of fun!
Melissa D.
Bought as a birthday gift for a 10 yo boy who loves art and nature. His parents say he loves it.
Laura A.
It is very hard to find games that my family can play, because one of my children is profoundly dyslexic and dysgraphic. We played Ouisi out of the box (no reading of instructions) as a 'dominoes' type game, where we had to say what the picture match was. The boys have asked to play it multiple times. I am obsessed with the photography, it makes me want to get my camera out again.
Hafsa M.
The cards are beautiful and super fun to lay out! So far, I’ve only “played” by myself and it’s a very pleasant and meditative experience, but excited to bring it up with people the next chance I get.
Sharon T.
We are so excited to play Quisi. Being a photography buff. Appreciate the angles, colors and subjects of the cards.
We’re playing it w/ friends who are just as excited about it…and bought Quisi for themselves!!!
paula p.
The pictures are beautiful, and the cards are really well made
Kathy T.
The most beautiful game I've ever seen and so many ways to play!
Melinda F.
Love to watch my 8 year old ‘grandson’ figure out his choice and then explain his reasons for it.
Kim B.
I’ve just started using these with my gifted students, grades 2-5. I’m new to the school and the students, so I wanted to get an idea of how they think. It was also a great opportunity for me to model ways to stretch and deepen thinking. I played a simple game of making connections with small groups to bridge an activity with thinking in metaphors—connecting things that seem to be mostly different. There are a great variety of themes and objects and connections. The students loved using the cards. I may love them, too, but can’t say for sure until I use them more.
Dana S.
Awesome! Learned so much about how my family thinks
steven b.
Hi- I used it in my American Sign Language classes, and I'm still creating some ideas or exercises for the students to use the cards to learn ASL. It's still new to me, so it will take time for me to come up with more ideas for this visual learning tools.
Sunny .
My adult son and I tryed out the game and had a fun time. Now, it's an early holiday gift for the granddaughters. Lookyng forwards to great fun when we get together.
Caspar R.
I am a little disappointed with the reproduction of the photos. I hoped they would be crisper and brighter in their colors. It is a printing issue I suspect.
Dianne B.
I rarely use the word unique but OuiSi is unique. It's great for board game lovers. It could also be a tool for creative people to find inspiration by seeing things in new ways. I bought it for myself. I'll be getting more to give as gifts.
Adam B.
I'm a music and drama teacher at a school - our drama programs is rooted in improvisation, which is largely about being about to recognize and make connections between seemingly unconnected ideas. This game falls right into our philosophy, and we've only just begun exploring the possibilities of Ouisi as a "low-key" form of play in our classroom. Thank you, Team Ouisi!
Anna M.
What a creative game! Got my family thinking in new ways about regular objects and ideas around us.
Anne W B.
Haven't played it yet. Saving it for a Christmas gift,
nadine s.
I bought them for a birthday present…coming up, so excited to play.
Leslie M.
I used this in my classroom with middle schoolers, and they loved it! We just made connections between cards, but I can imagine all sorts of ways to use these. It gives them a different way to think and makes for interesting discussions.
PAULA O.
The family and the grands live the fun!!
Popi M.
Love the variety and size - easily used with toddlers or adults alike. Can make all sorts of custom games - to include patterns, story-telling and innovation. Exactly what I have been searching for - thank you!!
Marcella W.
I bought this for my daughter who is a 2nd grade teacher at The Francis Parker School in Chicago, IL. When I gave it to her, we looked through the cards and the suggestions and she was excited to integrate some of the activities into her school day - e.g. Morning Meeting, Free Time, etc. I have not heard if she's had a chance to do that yet. It's a wonder set of cards and I'm sure she'll get lots of good use out of Ouisi
Beth M.
I bought this for my four year old grandson. The photos are beautiful and intriguing. Our best activity was simply matching colors or shapes (with my initially selecting a card set) but I can certainly see him growing into more advanced activities with this game. And I’ll admit, I spent some time alone with the cards, appreciating each for what it offered.
The cards are heavy duty and will last a long, long time. The good thing is, if you lose a couple (which kids will invariably do), no big deal. Play on!
Barbara D.
As a teacher, I was intrigued, so I bought it to play with my grandchildren. After we played for about 10 minutes, they wanted to put it away and play a real game. I kind of felt that same way.
Lynn
I'm bought this for my husband who has Alzheimer's. He loves the pictures! The conversations and stories from the pictures are very stimulating.
Julie R.
I’ve peeked at the very cool cards- I ordered extra early for a Christmas gift for grandkids-
Looks so fun!
Nice sturdy cards as well as colorful
Susan K.
I originally purchased this for my 2 year-old granddaughter to help with shapes and colors. I can see so many fun play-date adventures in the future. Good quality materials.
Yvonne F.
I use this game with PreK-5th grade multi-lingual learners. The vocabulary and conversation had is wonderful.
Lisa B.
I bought this as a birthday present for my 12 year old granddaughter. We’ve had so much fun seeing the different ways we interpret the shapes, colors and images. Happy to see her creativity explode!
Jordan C.
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.
Marilynn W.
I actually have no idea how the Great Grandkids feel about this game. It was a gift and I have not heard from their Mom as to how they are enjoying it. I sent her this link, asked her to fill it out and send it back but since you keep sending me this email I guess she has not returned the questionnaire either. I hope they love the game. My best, Marilynn Willard
catherine w.
This is a Christmas gift yet to be used
I HATE the barrage of emails requesting a review.
Back off
Kim C.
I honestly haven't been able to sit down and really look at it. I am very excited to do that. I have looked at 2 decks of the 4 decks of cards. They are beautiful, bright and they make me quite curious. As soon as gather a few friends and play I will email my thoughts to you.
Thanks, Kim Cole
Kimberly K.
I'll be using this in my classroom
Kelly D.
Love this game! I teach art and it is a fun addition to my classroom- the students love to play it and get inspired by the gorgeous photos!
Debra S.
Our students loved the brightly printed cards and really had a great time making connections between them. Looking forward to doing it again with variations!
Michele H.
A game in some form for all ages. The images are clear, interesting and spark creativity in different ways. Love the handbook full of ideas for different ways to play. I’m a grandparent to 3 boys aged 5-8 who are all different in their approach and perspective - and this set keeps us all absorbed. Absolutely love it and am very happy I ordered it! We need more games that help us all observe and appreciate different forms.
Tricia S.
Super fun! A different game every time.
Wendy T.
clever and beautiful game
Carolyn B.
My son uses them in his Montessori school class, ages 4-7. A big hit!
Melanie B.
Directions for games are hard to understand.
Lynette N.
I have used it in my classroom as an ice breaker and as story starters. I love the suggestions for the myriad of ways it can be used!
Leslie s.
Kept seeing the ads on IG and loved the photos. Bought the original one. My friend and I played a game where we matched by whatever criteria we could think of. As the layout got larger, we began to lay our played card on top of, instead of next to, the card it went with. Thus, the pile that was "blue" became "branching things". Very fun. We went thru all 210 cards. Highly recommend to play with kids, great workout for the imagination.
Ann B.
Beautiful photos that inspire all sorts of creativity and fun.
Ann E.
I have shared OuiSi with so many of my friends and suggest they buy for their families and friends for Christmas. I wrote Paul to tell him about my idea for a DRAW/PLAY Everyday table but have not heard back from him. I would like to see if you already have a nice piece of furniture designed to leave out OuiSi permanently so it is out all the time to interact with in a Family Room. Please get in touch with me at Annrerickson@gmail.com or 703-786-372. I really want to work with you on this project. I know two woodworkers who would be interested in working on this who could make this a win/win for us all! Thanks. Ann Erickson
Elizabeth B.
Engaging & fun game. Visually interesting. Purchased it to stimulate brain function for my loved one with Alzheimer's Disease. Great for visual creativity, and imagination, as well as, challenging to identify what is in each image. Encourages conversation and laughter.
Thank you!
Abby L.
My middle school students LOVE this game! Groups of kids that wouldn’t normally want to work together are more than willing to connect over these beautiful cards. Thank you, OuiSi!
Linda E.
I played with my grandchildren ages 3, 5 and 7 and we all had fun.
