This game caught my eye from the first time I saw the ads for it. The first use was with someone in beginning stages of dementia. It was great for helping them see connections, verbalize what they were seeing and play in a non-threatening, non-competitive way. I’m looking forward to using it for multi-age family gatherings!
Brittany R.
Perfect for the gifted and talented people in your life! Not only does my own family love playing and having rich conversations about multiple perspectives and finding connections in the beautiful art, I use it with AP Seminar students to prepare for Performance Task 2, and my mother (also an educator) brings it out on indoor recess days for her middle schoolers.
Carol K.
The images are incredible. And, as you play you’ll find nuanced details about your fellow players.

Never played it. These were gifts for our community Christmas toy drive
Dolores N.
I said, last time you asked, that I bought it as a Christmas gift. Therefore, it hasn’t been played with yet. Feel free to ignore my middle of the road rating.
Lorraine T.
I purchased this as a Christmas gift for my grandkids so I haven't given it to them yet. I will give feedback after Christmas.
Mary J.
I bought this to play at Thanksgiving when the whole family is together. Really looking forward to a bonding experience. It is hard to find a game all ages can play so I am very grateful for this opportunity and we are looking forward to many hours of fun.
DANA S.
WE played this with our adult children and enjoyed it. Many of the photos are difficult to figure out - requiring a closer look. But the idea of making connections between them was fun. We especially liked working in teams. I liked the way you can play with the cards in many different ways.
Deborah S.
We had a great time playing in my classroom. Students of all abilities were able to engage
Lorna
Just beautiful ! These are even better than I expected.
Carol W.
We played today for the first time. As a group of adults, we laughed and enjoyed the spontaneity and creativity.
Sara E.
I loved the game idea and bought as a gift, so I can only share that it arrived well-packed and timely. Can’t wait to gift it!
Pamela S.
Granddaughters love
Janet W.
I purchased both versions of the game. One for me and one for a gift. They arrived quickly.
I am impressed with not only the quality of the product but of the photographs used for the tiles. I love that there are so many ways to use the game and that each tile has a QR on the back so you can find out more about the full photo and the artist that took it.
I highly recommend these for all ages and all levels of play. I wish I had these when I was teaching years ago!
Thanks Ouisi!
Cathy J.
I’m using this with patients for communication, thinking outside the box and connecting
Laura A.
We had a great time trying out the game with 4 adults…
Can’t wait to play it with kids!
Jay W.
Love love love the game! It is beautiful! Each picture is exquisite and thought provoking. I’m an adult and I loved it. I think anyone would!
Alisa T.
OuiSi is beautiful. I have used it with clients in my mental health practice. I will also be brining it to my own family events during the holidays. Thank you, OuiSi, for making such a creative, useful, and fun product.
Deborah M.
My 5 yr old grandson picked up on the patterns so easily . You don’t need to even make a game of it… just fun to organize!
Stephani E.
Wow! What a great game for our entire family! The youngest grandchildren got to play with the adults and we could even include friends who did not speak our language!
Jennifer B.
I am a teacher, bought this game for my classroom. What a great way to make visual connections, collaborate, practice using descriptive language, and more. My students loved playing this game and asked for it again during their next bit of free time!
Luanne H.
Easy ordering and fast delivery. I bought these as Christmas gifts for my adult children and their families.
Kim B.
My sister ordered shampoo and conditioner as gift and I have really seen a difference in my hair. Love these products!
Christine R.
My teenagers love it and so do I! We brought it to a family gathering and everyone loved it!
Jan D.
My husband and I played this with my 28 year old daughter. And then again with a family friend. We all thoroughly enjoyed the experience. It’s interesting to see how other people connect to imagery. It’s a very low stress game that foster’s conversation and encourages understanding.
My daughter loved it because it’s non-competitive for the most part and highly visual. I bought it to play with my 88 year old mother who is experiencing dementia. She can no longer play strategy games but is still a very visual person. Can’t wait to try it with her.
Alyssa V.
This is a really clever idea for a game and I like that it doesn’t rely on language to play (so it’s good for mixed age groups, mixed language backgrounds, etc). I will say I didn’t realize how many images would be so city-centric when purchasing this: there are many metal and concrete photos, which isn’t inherently good or bad, but definitely comes across as a dominating theme. I probably would’ve purchased the nature set if I’d known!
Joy D.
It is rate you find a game that generates such conversation. A great way to involve all ages playing together. It also give new insight to the way people think or see things
Deborah Y.
I think it will be great fun for my grandchildren but it’s a Christmas present so they haven’t received it yet.
Doreen B.
Beautiful cards and such creative ideas for using them.
Crystal A.
Looks great, bought as Xmas gift so haven't used just yet.
Kasie M.
I am using these in my classroom (ms/hs science). The kids love it!
Meaghan C.
As an ESL educator, this is a great game for my students to play when I want them to make connections (in any language) and practice the domains of listening and speaking.
Darcy W.
My five year old and I love playing this game. I appreciate that there are so many ways we can play and the game can grow as she does.
Kathleen
My students love it!
Jane G.
While I haven’t played it yet, I love the beautiful pictures and like the idea a lot.
Vickie P.
I cannot review this item as I bought it for a Christmas Gift
Penny
Beautiful visuals and a lot of ways to use them in the art room. Thanks so much!!
Shari L.
Beautiful photos. I plan to use it over thanksgiving break.
Yehudis F.
I originally purchased this to use professionally- I am a child therapist and saw so much potential mental health value in it. It definitely met, and exceeded, my expectations in that realm. But - I did not expect to enjoy it so much personally. I had (adults) friends over this past weekend and brought the game home from my office, curious to see how it would go over. What a wonderful wholesome and simple way for humans to connect and enjoy each other in an authentic and present way. My friends kept commenting on the amazing skill of the photographer(s?) and how beautifully the whole experience was put together. I definitely need to order a second set to keep at home!
Kathy R.
Lots of fun with this beautiful game. Some of the game options seem complicated, but everyone is sure to be able to find a fun game to play with these cards!
Andrea F.
I got this game a few Christmases ago and absolutely love it! I have now also decided to start using it in my classroom to help my students think outside the box.
Elizabeth
Out for delivery come Christmas
Jan E.
I received my order right away which worked out great since my 12 year old grandson was spending the weekend with us. He loves board games and this one was no exception. We had fun trying it out. Will get it out again soon for a family gathering to see how it works when more people are involved. The photo card are unusual and the way patterns and/or connections are made among them is quite amazing. Good quality too.
Tammie E.
This is a Christmas gift for my grandsons (5 and 10) so I did not open the boxes, but the pictures on the outside are beautiful and I KNOW they’re going to love it. I can’t hardly wait until Christmas to play it with them!
Karen P.
I took a chance on this game, and I love it. I am sending a game for my daughter in NYC to play across the country together. I love a game that challenges the mind and imagination. Thanks.
Marina K.
I never received it !
Still waiting. :(
Toddie D.
I use this in school to spur conversation and engagement with my students. It's gotten some of them to engage who hadn't before. The photography is just beautiful!
Gabrielle
Doing some early Christmas shopping! Got these for my 4 y/o twin grandsons!
Kristen W.
I was excited to gift this game at a wedding shower to start the new couples game closet, but it arrive with big crack on the side of the box and I didn’t think that would make for an appropriate gift. Please consider your packaging to avoid this for others.
Sandra B.
I’m an Elementary School Social Worker and the kids love it. I’ve only played it like dominoes so far, but I love the creativity it fosters , the beauty of the cards, and the way it’s so different with different people
dottie m.
Since this was bought for a Christmas gift we haven’t had a chance to play it yet. Shipping was faster than AMAZON and the size of the game is great.
Erin M.
It's an excellent game for all ages. You can play with yourself or with a group. It gets your mind working, creates conversations and is just an all around fun and unique game.
Erica
I have used this every time I need to present a professional development to educators and it always proves to be a great conversation starter.
Janet P.
So, I thought that I bought 3 decks of cards but I realized that it probably did not work as I had hoped.
Then I gave these two away for kids’ birthdays that are in 2 weeks.
I gave a 4 because I am very excited to play the games but have not yet AND because I didn’t check my credit card to see if I have been charged.
I will soon order a ‘man-made’ deck, not the nature deck.
Janet
Brigitte H.
I got this game for my grandchildren for Christmas. I have been exploring the game on my own (I'm 81) to understand it before I give it to them. It's a beautiful game and I'm excited to play it with my 5 grandchildren.
Thanks for developing this game....
Kathy B.
I have received both OuiSI and OuiSi Nature and they are beautiful, but not yet played with as they are gifts!
Kara F.
Beautiful photos. Whole family loves it.
Amy M.
Young and old, we love this game! Love the challenge and different games to play.
Melinda M.
Got them for my 3.5 yr old granddaughter. Photos are so interesting. Tons of ways to categorize them. We will certainly enjoy.
ann o.
What a great game! 1. fun for multiple ages; 2. Can be played together with people who speak different languages; 3. You learn so much about how you see patterns-or don’t; and 4. You learn how others think. My favorite part is trying to guess what connection a player made and then asking them to explain. I’m learning a lot about how people think! You really can play over and over again (with different rules) and have vastly different outcomes. I’ve already bought 2 games to give as gifts. Enjoy!
Isabel M.
This is the first game we gave our grandson that his parents approved of! Success!
Monica H.
I purchased Ousi based on the reviews by grandparents who play the game with their grandchildren. We played recently and the reviews were absolutely right. My granddaughters loved it, as did their parents and their aunt and uncle. I can’t wait to play again at their next visit.
sherrye b.
Great fun for me alone or with my granddaughters!! A fun creative way to play!
Elizabeth T.
Love this game with my grandson! As a retired teacher, I can see so many uses for the cards in teaching. After playing it at a Games with Grands in my grandson's first grade class, I purchased the game and we donated it to his classroom!
Alicia W.
The cards are lovely!
Caroline L.
The game is a birthday gift for my granddaughter, only 5 years old. We sat down and opened it together, looking at the cards and noticing this and that, an alternative to her plastic toys, dolls and video fare. I bought a set for myself, too, during times I'm not with her to know what it's about. I enjoyed our introduction, I think she did, too. I really like the quality of the entire set, it will last and engage for a long time.
Krista P.
LOVE Ouisi!! I’m a high school and middle school health teacher. We played Ouisi in class during Homecoming week as a fun activity. The kids loved it and got so into it! They didn’t want to leave class when the bell rang!
Janet
I love this beautiful matching game - our 6 yo grandson loves to play & it’s fun to think of different way things are actually related!
Karen K.
I'm going to use it in my school library.
Regina B.
We had fun creating our own ways to play with the card. Our final favorite is to make 3 stacks. Then everyone takes a turn drawing 3 more cards and justifying how to match their 3 new cards with the 3 top cards on the stack. My kindergartener loves pointing out when things in pictures are "long and skinny" to match them together
Kelly B.
I’m a teacher of elementary students from kindergarten through fifth grade. They love to play “the picture game”, and I love listening to them explain the connections. I’m often amazed at how differently they view the pictures and at the depth of conversations based on the connections they make.
Beth H.
The photos on the cards are simply stunning! (When I’m curious about a photo’s origin, I love how the back of each card has a QR code that links to a Ouisi site which tells me more about the photographer and the photo.) So much to learn about the photo and our world.
The games are simple and I hope to play them with my young nieces and nephews. Ouisi definitely sparks imagination, and it improves reasoning and observation skills. As a former teacher, I love all the skills it reinforces.
The best part is that there are no electronic gadgets involved during the games. Just fun conversation, new discoveries and friend & family bonding —-which is always fun.
Staci E.
This game is very versatile! It can be used as a conversation style game. My favorite was the mindfulness version so far.
Pamela M.
I am an ELD teacher (English language development) and my groups k-5 had fun playing this game and using it to practice their language and I loved seeing their thinking. It’ll be in regular rotation in my classroom.
Kathleen
It was delivered to wrong house. Trying to track it down. Photo from UPS is not our house.
Anthony R.
I can’t wait to share this game with my family this thanksgiving
Philip Y.
My son is a visual learner and he instantly loved this game. It is very intuitive and we spent hours playing it. We now bring it with us wherever we go and have played it with our friends, who will be purchasing it. Appreciate the thoughtful game!
Virginia V.
We purchased this to use with English conversation groups at libraries. We haven't used it much yet, but so far we had fun testing it with staff and we are excited to use it more. The pictures are beautiful and interesting.
Mary J.
I’m sorry I have no review I’m saving it for Christmas gifts! I’m sure it will be enjoyed then, thank you.
Marissa G.
We love playing together as a family
Keith G.
I love using it with my students. It has opened up the possibilities of learning with out limits. They are so conditioned to think that there is a correct and incorrect answer and this game has broken that mold and allowed them to think freely.
Kim L.
I bought this game as a Christmas gift for my family and am excited to play it with them.
Danielle W.
I bought this to spark curiosity and conversation with my Gifted students. They love the game! Their comments and connections are so creative and I love how they defend their thinking looking at the finite details in the card.
Rachel
Beautiful & great quality. We have endless family connection times ahead with this set.
Jolie K.
Played with my 5 year old granddaughter and was really surprised and impressed with her matches and connections. I've bought more for gifts!!
Lana S.
I love the quality of the Oui Si games. They can be used in a variety of ways and by children and adults. I’ve donated games to a kindergarten class, my daughter uses it for her middle school ELL students and they are my favorite gift to share!
Susan M.
I haven't used this yet myself. I bought several as gifts over the past couple of years and it looked interesting, so I got one of each to keep at home for when younger folks are visiting. Now to entice my older friends at a party I'm hosting soon.
Pamela S.
Great visuals, easy playing
Lisa L.
I got this for my classroom and the kids just love it! The kids like it for a variety if games, discussion starters and writing prompts.
Lucia P.
I purchased the first set in anticipation of an extended family visit that would be bringing people of many ages together. It became entertainment for those from 3 to 80+.
Did not disappoint, have ordered the other variants as gifts and for future gatherings. Thanks!
Carol B.
The pictures are beautiful and engaging. Watching our grandson make matches reminds me to see with child’s eyes rather than than analyzing!
Amanda J.
OuiSi is fun! It was a challenge for my young kids to see all the potential matches that I saw (we played this a little like dominoes) but they also found a couple ways to match things that I didn't. I think the more we play the more creative we will all get!
Bruce R.
I haven’t played yet, but am looking forward to it!! The box, advertising, and sales people were all effective.
Elise F.
Great box of cool pics, fun nights, and intriguing conversations. We liked it so much we bought two more boxes for the rest of the family.
Patricia C.
Our games will not be open until Christmas so I can’t answer this survey
Delilah P.
I play around with my Ousis with my 91 year old mother. She is fascinated with the pics. We have a lot of fun with the decks.
Rosie O.
As a school based Speech-Language Pathologist, I am getting my monies worth playing OuiSi each week! My students love it, and each week we come up with new ways to have fun with OuiSi! I love listening to my students make connections, build social skills, and practice different language skills we are targeting! What’s more, I bring OuiSi home and it brings the whole family together! I’ve been having such a hard time keeping my toddler engaged at the dinner table, but playing QuiSi together at dinner has become a new tradition! We love it so much. I can’t wait to purchase your other products!
