My husband and I are 60 years old and don't often play competitive games. It's very enjoyable to just connect cards and explain the way they relate. Even just looking at the cards is relaxing. Thanks for a pleasant way to pass time during covid quarantine.
Deb S.
I bought 3 games and they got rave reviews! I love all the ways to play with the photo cards!
Bonnie A.
I bought it as a gift for my two grandchildren. Their parents tell me that the boys are enjoying the games, but that some of the cards are "weird." (I don't know what that means. ;-))
Alice K.
I played Ouisi with my grandchildren. They make amazing connections!
Karen S.
I bought these as gifts and all have reported loving it! From an artist in her 70's to a 7 year-old boy who stayed engaged for an hour and half - all find OuiSi engaging. Thank you!
Michele H.
very interesting concept-similar to a game called Pickles to Penguins but to the next level!
Karen M.
Recommended OuiSi to friends with young children.
Martha N.
I bought this for a birthday gift for my granddaughter. she has not yet opened it but I can say the order was shipped promptly and delivered when anticipated.
Julie W.
The photos are beautiful and the games are fun and imaginative.
Elizabeth W.
Originally I gave myself the excuse to buy ouisi to give to a 4 yr old nephew. But I decided to try it out for myself first. Since I live alone during Covid and I’m trying to play around with mixed media I decided to use the cards as inspiration for what’s called Art postcards. See attached.
Roberta T.
I actually bought two for gifts, so I have not opened them, but I watched all the promos and it will be perfect for some little ones in my family.
Linda H.
Can’t wait for additional cards to add to our set. Fun game and outstanding photos that cause you to think. Great game for all ages
Stacie B.
I gave this to my grandson for Christmas, he has not had a chance to play yet. However, my great nephew who is the same age got it and has spent lots of hours playing. He loves it.
Nancy P.
My kids (DS14, DD10, DD8) and I play OuiSi and it is fascinating to “see” how their brains connect ideas and which pictures they choose to connect. I look forward to using these cards in a group setting too - a homeschool co-op class and also a hiking/nature journal group.
Robyn P.
Finally, a game my 6 year old can play with the family. She felt “heard” as she explained her rationale for her card choice. There is no right or wrong...so a win-win every time. The game pronunciation is perfect, as oui si (we see) was literally said after every card connection, followed by “YES” as we understood the train of thought. All of the game examples were fun...the favorite being “draw”. The imaginations really went wild! We even created our own games. I’m very pleased with the quality of the game, your email checking in with us, and all the different ways to play. Never gets old. Thank you!
Catherine C.
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.
Lisa M.
We had fun playing the ‘train’ version with three generations. Interesting to see how each person makes connections with the photos. Pictures were more abstract than I expected, which made it more challenging for the five-year-old to join in. Games do encourage open-ended thinking.
Rachel B.
Just spent an hour or so making visual connections, noticing, wondering. Feeling more calm, centered.
Some relaxing music, a mug of tea or chocolate, and the occasional passerby to comment. Ran out of room, else I would still be going. Yes yes! There is no limit to the possibilities of play.
13/10, highly recommend.
Lindsay M.
OMGeee, we just got the game today and HAD to play. My kids 8 & 5 LOVED it. They came up with such great matches (swirls, shadows, edible) it was so neat! We just started with the simple and basic free association matching game.
Thank you so much for such a creative and engaging product!
Nancy H.
I shipped this as a gift to my niece, her husband, and her daughter. They all enjoy it, including the four year old! That’s all I know!
claire b.
What a fun game! I especially appreciate the high quality of the materials and photos. The possibilities for games is endless! Easy to mentally challenging. We especially liked that we could come and go from the game we chose rather than need to finish.
Ruth E.
I haven’t done much with it yet but it looks like something that I can share with my grandkids, kids and friends here in my retirement community-as soon as we can start gathering again
Bruno N.
What a great, creative, gentle game to play with kids of all ages. Our three little ones enjoy making visual connections and talking about their choices. Thanks for a great family game!
Kathleen C.
I feel somehow awakened and more present in the moment after spending time with the cards and finding new connections. I am more present and curious and less attached to how things should be. I am enjoying the practice and will continue. Right now I prefer to practice alone. Thank you for creating OuiSi!
Jennifer H.
Such a beautiful, creative game. Perfect for such a range of ages!
Jesse S.
Mixed reviews. Some like it, Some don't get it.
Catherine S.
I love the pictures and I enjoy using the cards to exercise my brain to make new connections. Thank you so much. Beautiful!
Gina I.
OuiSi was a gift to my granddaughter. She loves it!
Kim S.
We've only played once, I like it and it seems flexible but also a bit too open as I'm not sure we are even playing it properly.
Cynthia I.
I gave OuiSi to our daughter and her teen boys. They enjoyed playing it on Christmas afternoon. Our daughter said the photography is amazing and very intriguing.
Amy M.
I loved this game and so did my kids! My grandchildren could play with us as well. We pretty much made up our own rules but had a blast playing!! That you also for the quick delivery.
Diane B.
I'm a teacher so the description grabbed my attention because it could be used in so many different ways! I haven't tried it with younger students, but we played with our college student and had a great time. After the first time, you begin to get in the groove of thinking creatively and it is fun to see how different people think. We played it three times in a row and loved it. I look forward to playing with different age groups too. That is part of the beauty of this game because you can adapt it to all ages and abilities.
Laurie F.
I sent an email to several of my friends, with and without kids. All are interested in checking it out. and I we were able to have game nights I'd definitely bring this game out. My husband and I finally had a chance to play with it the other night. It was fun. We had fun trying to figure out what some of the photos were. We want to move on to more of the challenging games. Thank you for creating such a unique game.
Kathleen C.
I gave my daughter-in-law this for Christmas. She is a reading specialist but has been tutoring remotely, lately. She immediately put it to use it with her students and then told me this is a fantastic product and every Montessori school would love it, too!
Jean S.
I was disappointed when playing the game - not sure if it will be ever a favorite.
Kathleen G.
Beautiful photos lead to great connections and discussions of how items relate to one another. Fun for all ages.
Linta V.
There are so many ways to play with OuiSi. And my 9 year old has also made up a couple of games herself (scavenger hunt, drawing 7 cards and making up a story). It is a big hit in our home.
OuiSi also has excellent customer service. I ordered this as a XMas gift and for two weeks the tracking information showed the package was at a distribution center close-by but there was no delivery date attached. I emailed OuiSi to see if they could help. I received a response in less than a day saying that they are looking into it. They then followed up on December 26 to see if the package had arrived and when I said it didn't, OuiSi sent another one and refunded my shipping cost without me asking.
Donald S.
We Haven't played it yet.
Anne N.
We bought this game for our whole family for Christmas! It’s great for any age and very creative!
Alice K.
Loved the creativity and connections of the pictures and colors. Thinking of new ways to play and promote meaningful interactions with others.
Thanks so much.
Beth L.
I bought this for my grandkids, ages 9 and 6 to give them another creative and visual outlet besides electronic devices. They love it and so do their mom and dad!
Ann M.
I think it will take some time to get good at the abstract concepts. I bought it for my 12 year old grandson. He loves card games and board games. He was not excited about this gift until my adult daughter and I were playing with the cards. They are such great pictures. After we were playing for awhile my grandson got involved and realized it was very fun. It was a great gift! Thanks
Deborah B.
Very appealing, fast paced game that all ages enjoyed. Much laughter as everyone’s rationale for arranging their “plays” were explained. Really appreciate the open-ended nature of this game where there are no “wrong” answers! Thank you. Deborah Batten
Lisa B.
This was one of the gifts to three families of grandkids of very visual an creative people. I know they will love it and will use it during ho eschooling and distance learning havent had the time yet. Also, many of the 13 are pretty little. It will be great.
Lisa Luna D.
Really enjoying Ouisi and the creative play with my 7 year old. Images are amazing and we have fun making and explaining the connections. Looking forward to competitive play with my 11 year old.
Carrie W.
Enjoyed playing this with my 12 year nephew and then again with my 55 year old friend. I've already gifted it to two folks who are enjoying it as much as I. It is challenging, fun, and very enjoyable to play.
David G.
Worked with our grandkids age 5 and up. So much worthwhile than video games! It's able to teach and entertain at the same time.
Jean B.
Fun with family !!!ages 75-14
Giving set to 2 friends with young children
Love the many photos !
Susana S.
This game engages my sons at 4 and 6 as well as my teenager. It’s limitless in its possibilities.
Andria A.
We wanted a game to play with our grandsons, ages 9 and 4, over our calls on Facebook Messenger. OuiSi has been wonderful.
The abstractness of the images lends themselves to many interpretations. Prompting the boys to tell us WHY they chose what image they did encourages their thinking and their vocabulary.
It also prompts them to create their own games to play with the cards. The 9 year old loves choosing a card and asking us to guess what it is. He gives us clues until we figure it out.
Because there's no "right match", when the 4 year old just wants to fill in the empty squares of the grid, it doesn't matter that there's little "similarity" to the images. And it's a real kick to hear a 4 year old use the word "similarity" :)
Erica S.
My mom and I are alot alike, and I've been personally curious about this game, so I decided to get one for my mom for Solstice, and we both have enjoyed it a couple times already- the images on the cards themselves are extremely diverse and interesting/ artistic, with lots of colors and patterns-I plan to get myself a deck in the near future! Would LOVE to see some expansion packs!!! Great for all ages, abilities, also great for artistic inspiration!
Amy C.
Gifted teacher.. bought one for three grandchildren and gave another to my mother.. 3yr.. 4yr.. 7yr.. 78yr.Need to order another set for me.
Christiane S.
My husband and I were experimenting with this new kind of game, that’s not really a game but a vehicle for engagement and thinking outside the box. It was fun figuring out relationships of the different pictures, and picking out aspects such as color, pattern, texture. We are still figuring it out, and hope to bring it to the grandchildren and see what they make of it!
Judy E.
Gave it to grandchild as a gift so have not played the game. I look forward to playing it.
Betsy F.
Thought it would be different. Wasn’t quite sure how to just play like dominoes and how many to deal to each player.
carol r.
Beautiful photography. alot of fun!
Liz C.
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.
Sue S.
The photos are amazing and can lead to so many possibilities. The choice of game selections is helpful but the uses are endless.
Deana E.
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
Sonia J.
I opened the package for the first time today, January 5, 2021. My grandchildren, ages 5 and 3, were visiting. I simply laid out two of the decks of cards, and we looked for matches. I was amazed at the matches they made, especially my 3-year old. Not only did they match colors, but they saw patterns, shapes, and connections, and were able to defend why they chose those matches. We played two rounds; however, my grandson (the three-year old), was done after the first round and moved on to another game he wanted to play. All in all, it was a fun afternoon on both sides, spent with my grandbabies, particularly after they lost their home to a fire on New Year's Day. Your game provided a much needed respite from the trauma and turmoil they are going through. Thank you!
Holly C.
Beautiful photographs. My young grandchildren made up their own games as soon as the box was opened. This will make a great homeschool tool.
Alison G.
Delivery of OuiSi was very speedy! I bought two games for two sets of grandkids. Unfortunately, I have not been able to play the game with them because of COVID travel restrictions, but I look forward to being able to in the near future.
Michael D.
Christmas gift to the kid’s & their families - they said they love it.
Donna H.
Played several games over the holiday wit both adult children and two preschoolers. Both games were equally satisfying. The children surprised me and inspired my imagination in new ways.
Linda R.
I gave both of my children a game for their families at Christmas. The first game played included ages: 8, 10, 18, and 43. They all had fun and found unique relationships to defend their moves. The best thing was that everyone enjoyed the game. That is not easy with this great of an age range. OuiSi is easy enough for the youngest player and stimulating enough for adults! It encouraged conversation and creative thinking. The quality of the cards is excellent and the photos are fascinating.
Margaret S.
Was enchanted by the creative connections, age range and variety of ways to play with these cards, even for children who are pre-readers. Upon opening, my grand- kids played five games in a row before devising their own ways to have fun with the cards.
alison t.
It was a gift and so far is being enjoyed by several family members. The different perspectives on photos are creating fun conversations.
Dominique M.
The photos are splendid, varied, and so much fun to play with!
Malinda B.
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.
Debra T.
Our family (all adults) enjoyed our time together making connections and discussing. We like how freeing it is to let your imagination roam.
geri R.
We had a great time with players from age 4-74! We were playing in no time - right out of the box and the connections people saw made us laugh or amazed us. Great play time!
Carolyn P.
I first played Ouisi with one of my 7 year old granddaughters. We started with the easiest level and without competition. As soon as she picked up on what the game was about, she articulately started explaining her thinking about how seemingly disparate photographs were alike. What I love about the game is that it takes the boundaries down about how things are alike or different and then generalizes that open way of thinking by giving permission to everyone to process their visual thinking in their own ways. And all those ways are correct and unique to each person's way of seeing, experiencing, and creating connections. I liked the photographic/artistic aspects of this game as I am a fan of cameras and of teaching visual thinking and integrated arts to all!
Colleen F.
Although the pictures were fascinating, it was too unstructured for my tastes.
Susan S.
Since I bought it with adults in mind I feel it's a little limited, since there are few variations. However we have enjoyed playing it. Phots are wonderful and thought provoking. Maybe we just have to play more. I think it is better suited for kids of many ages and would certain be an excellent learning tool for discussion and conversation with them.
Christopher F.
We were so impressed that we gave it to all the young families on our Christmas list. They have been unanimously intrigued and enjoying it. Our son took his children put and they took pictures to add to their set. Thank you!
Sandra W.
This was a gift to my grandchildren, ages 8-12. They are really enjoying playing together and the conversation that ensues as they make connections. Their father is an educator who gives the highest grade for this unique, entertaining and educational activity which encourages creative thought as well as respect for the thoughts and ideas of others. The cards are very well made, the colors vivid and the subjects interesting. I highly recommend.
Amy B.
This is fantastic for gathering and group activities as well as team building and professional development openers. Use your creativity and create a connection then open it to discuss and delve deeper.
barb w.
i play this with my grandchildren, ages 4 to 8. we can play it as a group, which is difficult with the various maturity levels of the span. we all love it.. and the kids are very creative in the unique ways that they find similarities.
Esther B.
I played the game with my two toddler grandsons a couple times before Christmas, who are ages 6 and 4. They love the game and relate a card to another card easily and for different reasons. They got it and easily found relationships. When I tried to play with my adult children and spouses and older grandchildren it was harder for them to try and relate it to another card. They kept asking questions on how it worked. They tried to make it more difficult than it had to be. There were 12 of us including the two toddlers who had played previously. We didn't play long for that reason. It kind of bombed. I will try again when there's another opportunity. In the meantime, when I tend the toddlers I will play with them. They like it!!! And, I love to see their creativity manifest itself.
Leilani H.
Enjoy the multitude of perspectives which the games (including those of our devising) stimulate! I bought OuiSi because I was impressed by the range and quality of the card images - I envied the developers' curation process and wanted to enjoy the same process, so bought the cards. I have not been disappointed.
Dotti F.
Have given it as a gift so no idea. Never played it
Denice R.
My niece said her two children, ages 4 and 6, amazed her and her husband with their responses. She also was thrilled to have a family game with no wrong answers!
Marypat K.
This is fun, and "kids" of all ages will love this - not only are the pictures wonderful, but they stay in your mind long after you see them. Nudges all sorts of places in your brain that your brain has been begging you to notice!
Margaret S.
Gave as gifts and all who received absolutely love it.
Joan F.
I got this game for the whole family and we won't see each other until "Christmas in July". That is why I don't want to take your survey. I have no idea about which picture I chose, so please do not use it. My sister has the game and has played with one of her granddaughters and has loved it.
Laurie L.
Your service and shipping were great, and I wish I could tell you more about how much I love your product, but I haven't gifted it yet, so it hasn't been opened. It looks wonderful and I love the concept! Wish I could provide a better review!
Zolieta J.
I've only used once, matching cards by color - totally enjoyed the challenge. The hardest part is figuring out how to play with the cards with others. Suppose I will have to focus on directions!
Gordon S.
wonderful inclusive games for kids and adults of all ages. Very revealing about people.
R O.
I love the variety of images! It's inspiring me to think more visually, especially since I am a theatre artist working virtually.
Julia P.
Great nephew chose this to play with first on Christmas. A win
matt b.
For a family of visual learners this game is so absorbing. It’s such a neat way to get lost in the stories that each picture tells, and how the stories change with each new addition. It has been seriously mind expanding for our 6 year old twin girls. A rare game that everyone in the house, no matter the age, is excited to play. Such a good idea, and super well executed. We bought 6 this Christmas and everyone who got them has been thrilled (including us : )
Anne M.
It’s a great idea! We haven’t had a chance to play the games yet but looking forward to it. Thanks!
Maria M.
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.
Melinda R.
My 9 year old and 4 year old played a game together really loosely following the creative play rules. It was splendid! I throughly enjoyed hearing how their brains work and how they connected the pictures.
Char B.
Just love the variety of photos- great patterns and colors!
Linda L.
I have only used this with the 5 and under crowd so have limited experience with all that you can do with it. The photos are great and I like the concept.
Jolene W.
Gave it as a gift to a family. The mom said “I was actually very impressed with the creativity and unique connections they were making between the pictures. It was fun to see how their minds work.” Exactly what I was hoping for and hope they get more enjoyment from it. The packaging is very sturdy and beautiful.
Linda K.
My daughter really enjoyed playing this with her 8 and 10 year old. They are looking forward to trying more games.
Ann F.
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?!
Rose B.
We got this for our neurodivergent child because one of her favorite things to do is try to find connections between things. It was cool to see her connect some images that never would have occurred to me. Our NT child enjoys playing it, too. The pictures are beautifully done, and it's a nice, meditative escape from screens.
