OuiSi Nature ("we-see") is a set of 210 Visually Connecting Photo Cards that celebrate the beauty of our planet. Each box includes a guide full of creative games and activities that ignite curiosity about nature.
Each Photo Card "connects visually" with many others in the set, based on similar patterns, shapes and colors. Thousands of matches are awaiting discovery.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "These beautiful nature Photo Cards are such a nice change from typical manufactured games. They stimulate awe and curiosity." - Edith W., verified customer
Inside the box
On top of the 210 lush, 3”x3” extra-thick Photo Cards (like stacks of polaroids), you’ll find inside OuiSi Nature:
- Instructions for ten creative activities including OuiSinoes (visual dominoes), drawing and storytelling. Play solo or with others (ages 4+)
- Instructions for two competitive games (ages 10+)
- Instructions for two mindfulness activities (age 4+)
- A guide to open-ended play
In other words, OuiSi Nature is packed with years of play and exploration.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "So many different ways to play this game. Ages 4 to 104 will love it!" - Jo W., verified customer
OuiSi Nature portal
On the back of each Photo Card you'll find a QR code. Simply scan it with your phone or tablet. From there you are guided to a page dedicated to that Photo Card and its nature. Players can learn more about what they see and meet the nature photographer who took the photo.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "The Photo Cards are stunning and the QR codes are a wonderful resource to dig deeper." - Anna S., verified customer
Photographers
We worked with 16 photographers from around the world dedicated to nature conservation. From mushrooms to meerkats, each photographer's unique focus is on display in OuiSi Nature. 
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "The heart of OuiSi Nature aligns perfectly with my philosophy as an artist and scientist. When humans meaningfully connect with nature, they are more likely to take care of it.” - Meg Madden, OuiSi Nature photographer
Igniting young minds through connection
OuiSi Nature encourages collaboration, like building off another player's Photo Card during OuiSinoes. It fosters observation and inquiry like "What animal do you think that is?" These questions are the building blocks of good conversation and plant seeds of curiosity about the world. But perhaps most important, OuiSi is FUN! Kids simply "get it" right away.
And parents? They love the the educational aspect and that they can enjoy the game alongside their kiddos. Not to mention, the set is flexible and durable. In fact, you can lose or damage some Photo Cards and it won’t affect the play of games. Next to travel and outdoor play, there's no better way to discover nature.
Perhaps the best part for families? No fighting over rules or about who's winning or losing. It just doesn't happen in OuiSi.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "This game is a visual delight. Provokes thought, creativity and laughter!" - Chris A., verified customer
Awards and reviews
OuiSi Nature has won top awards from Tillywig Toys, Creative Child Magazine, Mom's Choice and the National Parent Product Awards. More importantly to us, however, are the reviews left by our customers.
"Few products offer such an entertaining and enlightening pastime, one of the many reasons we highly recommend OuiSi Nature!" - Tillywig Toy & Media Awards, 2022

Pictures are cool but without a phone to scan the back no one knows what the photos are. It becomes a distraction to have to scan every photo to find out what they are when we try to play games that allow us to get rid of phones for a while. Disappointed that phones had to be involved at all.
Frances W.
The photographs are beautiful and framable.
Diana S.
Loved using these cards to engage the creative mind of my 8-year old granddaughter. Beautiful images inspired some very imaginative stories and connections. Thanks for creating such a wonderful non-competitive game.
Anne K.
Encourages creativity and close observation. Fun for preschooler and grandma!
Melanie M.
We made up our own game! Very flexible and creative!
DOROTHY B.
We used it for the first time at the Neighborhood Night Out gathering. It definitely grabbed people’s attention. I like the QR code for identifying the picture.
Jem M.
My family loves this game! It’s beautiful to the eye, flexible to play, and is engaging and relaxing for my ADHD kiddo as well as for adults. So many ways to play and explore! We also use some of the images to explore different concepts in homeschooling, and it was a well-received gift by another homeschooling nature-based family. Thanks for bringing more beauty and connection to the world!
Lisa K.
Our first experience with Ouisi was exploring the magnificent, colorful, UNIQUE photographs! Being able to read about the photos on the back of each card makes it even more fascinating. We ended up spending two hours reading about the creatures and nature photographs and laughing over funny facts and interesting animals. This is a great family adventure to share with everyone.
Alexandra C.
Really creative game!
Cyndi W.
After opening one pack of the Ouisi cards our grandson exclaimed, "I love these cards they're beautiful." He is enjoying unconstrained play, making connections and stories. He likes to and guess what the picture is before we look it up. And an added benefit is looking them up by number. Thank you Ouisi for creating an exemplary and beautiful way to play together.
Ann M.
I have purchased both versions of QuiSi. Both games have allowed our family to have some good times together. While several generations played together, the conversation was new and interesting. We added some variations as we played. I would highly recommend this activity to other families.
Nancy C.
We haven’t had a chance to use Ousi yet but the pictures are stunning!
Jennifer K.
I’m a homeschooling parent of 4, ages 8, 6, 4 and 2. I use OuiSi for story starters and conversation pieces with all of them. It’s great for one on one discussions (matching colors or finding like shapes for the younger ones).
betty F.
Such pleasure. A great long moment of resting parts of your mind and awakening others. Most fun for 3 to 5 players, I think, so action can easily adapt to other's visions. Just made my fourth gift to friends.
Catherine R.
We love to have creative games to play with our grandchildren...this is the BEST!
Anna S.
The photos are stunning and the QR information is a wonderful resource to dig deeper. I bought two sets of the Nature sets for our science department. So far, I have used them in first grade in a general "quick start" way to observe deeply and find connections through pattern, color, shape and function or form. Students came up with entirely different and beautiful ways to connect their cards, each tasked with explaining the how and why of the connection. A twelfth grade class also explored the cards, diving into the QR codes and making connections to their biology studies. This is a wonderful tool that can be used in so many ways, I can't wait to see how others are inspired by them.
Margaret H.
I love the addition of QR codes for curious minds. Colorful, beautiful open-ended play for me and my young daughters.
Jenn H.
I love everything about OuiSi! The images, the cardstock and size of the tiles, the endless possibilities for playing, and the utility to bring people of all ages and backgrounds together into an emerging conversation. I use this in my work as a professional facilitator and org designer, and I use it at home to invite new special moments with my husband and young daughter. OuiSi is gift, and I'm telling everyone!
Patricia R.
This is a great way to unplug from technology and plug into each other. The cards are open to interpretation and are beautiful pictures of the world around us that most of us miss. I purchased both the original set and the nature set. Like I said, the pictures are beautiful and the fact that the nature set has the QR codes on the back makes exploring the picture further very easy (I only wish the original set had the same ability....hint, hint ;). Well worth purchasing and I highly recommend you do so.
Edith W.
These beautiful nature photos are such a nice change from typical manufactured games. They stimulate awe and curiosity. It is so interesting to hear each person’s rationale for matching up tiles- unique perspectives and no wrong answers make it really fun to play together with OuiSi.
Diane S.
I took this to my homeschool group. The older kids had a lot of fun with it.
Mary K.
When I sent this to my best friend of 40 years, an elementary teacher of special needs students, she exclaimed, "Best gift EVER!" Even though I am no longer teaching, this convinced me to buy a set for myself. I agree with her that the game, which requires no reading or math skills, "levels the playing field" for all participants. Everyone can be successful! I enjoy examining the Nature cards for matches and inspiration, taking time to appreciate the wonder of the world around me and all the connections in it. It is a great break from electronics of all kinds. I highly recommend Oui Si!
Theresa S.
Everyone in my family can play! It's truly a game for all ages!
Nikki M.
As an Occupational Therapist working with young people we are often using games and activities to increase their perspective and flexible thinking skills. This game hits just that! I love the different ways you can play and switch it up per the young peoples interests and needs.
Chris A.
This game is a visual delight! It is so fun to see the connections people make, surprising and provoking thought, creativity and laughter! And to be able to identify the images using the QR codes is wonderful!
Kathryn W.
Quality of pix improved significantly!! My pts with decreased vision can see these so much better.
Matt O.
Beautifully packaged. And amazing photos. Look forward to playing over thanksgiving holiday with extended family.
Marsha .
What a wonderful EXPERIENCE! So much more than a game! Everyone loves it and we look forward to the next iteration! ❤️
Pam F.
My sister and I took it on a beach vacation. There are so many variations of the game. We loved using the QR code telling us what unique frame of a picture we were viewing. The total picture was so many rare flowers or plants or animals. We loved the stimulation.
Pam V.
Great innovative creativity! As we struggle with frontal lobe issues we hope this can help us to think!! Thank you!
Tasha C.
My family has loved this game! The cards are so beautiful. We've tried 3 or 4 different ways to play and love the options. No matter how we're playing there are pauses to scan the back of a few cards and see what they are. We've learned so much! I took it to a coffee shop yesterday and played with friends who also loved it. Someone walking by our table stopped to ask what it was so they could order it!
Bridget W.
Bought as a gift for Christmas. Havevonly looked at the cards!
Krystal E.
The cards are absolutely beautiful and the open ended creative ways to play appeals to everyone! I was describing the game to one of the special education counselors at my son's school and they said it would be great for the kids that need a brain break during the day. Now they have a copy of both the Original and the stunning new Nature set.
Linda F.
Three hours of laughs , ‘what is that’ , ‘may we keep playing’ , explanations, and just wonderful wholesome, everyone a winner time with my Grandchildren . Thank you !!
Bonnie S.
So cool, I keep recommending it to friends
sharon s.
My husband has dementia and I brought this wonderful game to his daycare. They are in the process of learning the game and sharing it with the clients. It is a very beautiful and brilliant set of images. My husband is actually a bit too afflicted to get the most out of this. I have donated it to the daycare. Thank you so much.
Claire K.
I bought the nature version of the game to share with my granddaughters, ages four and six. The four year old is especially into it and recently told me she has played with her dad, also! It’s a hit for sure—and the cards will also offer the opportunity for more variations of play and discovery as the kids get older!
Gay W.
My two grandsons dove right into the game!! Loved being able to identify what was on card by QR codes!! Playing it now at the neighborhood park so” they have enough space for all the cards!
Carla F.
the photo graphs are very good and full of detail. there are many options for playing or just looking and admiring the pictures
laurie h.
We started out on our small homemade patio table...ran off the edge. This is the original game...we also got the new Nature set and love the QR codes...we have a friend who asked tons of questions about the first set so we now have answers about the second set. Great game, great quality.
Sonya C.
these are so versatile! We use them in teaching the 7 elements of art. They are fantastic for group cooperation skills in this regard. Such a really good educational tool! the kids love them! the Adults love them! Thank you!
Maria L.
I haven’t played it, but I did pull out some of the cards. They look wonderful. Once I have played some games, I can give them more thorough review.
My concern was that they can’t be sanitized and in this age of Covid and with anybody who has a weak immune system, I was just hoping to get a game that would be amenable to that.
However, when I found your wonderful ads on Facebook, I let that go.
Thanks for making a beautiful game and I look forward to playing it with my 92-year-old neighbor. This is what inspired me to get it. She has told me she has been quite lonely.
Thank you again
Penelope D.
I loved the beautiful photography of the original OuiSi and was happy to receive the nature version, also. My 6 year old niece loved using the QR code to discover more about each card.
Well done, QuiSi team! I also appreciate the care for a photographer in need.
Holly J.
The cards are exquisitely made! I was not expecting the QR code to be on the back. This is a fantastic resource to learn more about the image and spark wonderful conversations. Very happy with my purchase!
Elizabeth L.
I saw a post for Oui-si and was intrigued. I was in the middle of planning a multi-generational family celebration. The idea that this is an activity designed for all ages was just what I needed. I ordered both sets, the cards are beautifully crafted, lovely heavy weight stock, beautiful colors and photographic imagery. Our celebration together only scratched the surface of using Oui-si to spark conversation and make connections. I think we will be enjoying Oui-si for years to come.
Lavonne P.
My 7 year old (but very bright and inquisitive) grandson and I played this. He wanted to know what everything was, so we took full advantage or the code on the back of each card to investigate and find out. That is a very nice educational feature. The game itself is not real fun in my opinion because you really can match almost every card if you try hard enough. But the pictures are lovely.
Ashley T.
I bought this as a tool to help my kindergartener. We haven’t really played any of the games included in the instructions, but we’ve spent a lot of time grouping things by color and by type and talking about how they’re the same or different. I think this game will grow with us and continue to be fun for a long time. The photos are beautiful and it’s very well made.
Leigh L.
I played with 12 year old grand. I was surprised that I wanted to scan and read about the different pictures.
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.
Amy J.
The pictures are so lovely and captivating. Our family has enjoyed each unique experience with the set. I'm going to use these nature images in our Girl Scout troop as part of the Shapes in Nature badge work.
Jessie T.
Stunning.
I bought one for a friend as well as myself, they loved it as much as I thought they would.
Having a creative, open ended, thought provoking, and delicious for the eyes- game is such a treat.
Mary S.
Gifting game lovers for the holidays!
Kristen P.
Bought this for a gift for parents for Christmas, so haven't even opened the box but am so excited to gift this year!
Whitney
My family (me, husband, 10yo daughter) played Ouisi together and had fun examining all of the beautiful pictures on the cards. We played the "dominoes" version of the game. My daughter was better at it than the adults (she's very creative), and we did have a little trouble "agreeing" on some of the "matches" that other players would make. My favorite part of the game was after we finished, and my daughter decided to create her own version of "War" with the cards, determining all the rules of value to apply to different cards. It's a beautiful set of pictures, and I love that you can scan the QR code to find out more about what you're looking at. The games themselves (there are multiple) are a little open-ended for our taste. I think that's intentional, just not our family's favorite.
Cori F.
A great gateway to more creativity and connection.
Stacie S.
I will be gifting this to my granddaughters in a week so I’m waiting to see their reaction. I’m sure they’ll love it!
Nicole H.
We are using them in our elementary school library media center to help students incorporate science and make connections. Patterns in nature, structures in nature and categories of nature all align with our curriculum.
Rachel H.
Oui Si is a great way for me to get out of a creative funk and think outside the box. I love how many variations of the game you can play! I can’t wait to play with my baby girl.
steven b.
Hi- I used both of these cards 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 these two visual learning tools
Christine R.
I gave this as a gift to my artist adult son for his birthday. The photography is gorgeous. Right away he and his wife said oh it’s like a game with have that uses words but this is with pictures! Cool!
Shaylah G.
We absolutely love this game what a fun way to promote critical thinking! The images are stunning and the QR cards with information about he images was such a wonderful addition!
Mary K.
Delighted to see games for children and families that are fun, functional, and development thinking skills.
Bethany W.

Kimberly R.
Love the photos
Lydia L.
Very nice quality product, including the packaging. My 4 year old granddaughter loves just flipping through the cards and trying to guess what they are. And her father loves scanning the QR codes on the back to see if she is correct. I love the fact that they can be neatly put away in their container for the next play session.
Sarah D.
This is a beautiful game made with high-quality materials. We plan to use it in an environmental education center and our summer camps. There are many ways to play, and I love the QR codes that give you more information about each picture and the photographer.
Erica H.
Got this as a Christmas gift for our 3-year-old grandson and his parents, who are huge gamers. Should be a big hit!
Dee Ann H.
Looks fun. Haven’t had a chance to play it yet.
Tami B.
Just placed my second order.. a gift. My nieces are homeschooled and thought they would love this. My first purchase was the Nature and original for my daughter who is a speech pathologist at several schools for her to use with her students. She loves it!
Erica L.
I work at a school and we have some mild to sever autistic students who have loved playing with and making up games using OuiSi!! It has been magical.
thank you,
Erica
Deborah M.
My grandchildren have not visited yet to play with or experience Oui Si. However, the photos are very high quality, and it looks as if fun will be had by all once we are together again to play some games with it. What I appreciate is that the youngest child can look and play as well as the older children. Adults can join in, too, depending on how you use the cards; it is highly adaptable.
Nancy B.
Even our five year olds love the pictures, want to make a connection to other photos and especially know what it really is in the photo. They make their guesses, then we look it up.
Thank you for adding this great feature. The kids are growing in skills in many ways while using Quisi.
Pamela B.
These are beautiful picture/story cards. Better than the others I've seen. I gifted it to a young neighbor and they are really into it, both the 4 year old and 6 year old, each with their own insights. It really sparks conversation!
Rosemary T.
Beautiful pictures(nature edition). Nice game to play when tired or distracted… just taking turns finding connections is relaxing and often surprising. Looking forward to trying g different versions of game.
Serena L.
Great birthday gift!
Mary L.
The pictures are breath-taking. The game is creative and thought-provoking. 3 generations of our family played together and there was so much laughter and learning. We also loved the QR codes on each card which told us more about the pictures.
Mikaela L.
Kids loved learning about each image
Shana H.
This is a lovely game.
Lisa H.
Using the cards with students at elementary school. It’s great to hear their reasons for matching.
Lauren B.
This game is colorful and interesting! There is always something new to notice and new ways to make connections. My children love looking up the details of each card by entering in the number on the back on the website.
Rhea A.
I love how this game connect young and young at heart. I’m a trained instructional designer and have worked in learning/employee development for 20 years focusing on adult learner. Love the number of ways one can play this game and be interactive no matter age. This game (the nature version and the original) I highly recommend.
Rhea
Sara S.
My three children ages 17, and 11 (twin boys) loved this game. It gave us such a great time to be creative together. Bravo !
Mariah O.
The customer service has been excellent - my original order got lost in transit and the team contacted me about it before I even thought to reach out to them and quickly sent out a replacement. The quality of the cards, the photos, and the QR codes for additional information are awesome. I've been enjoying different activities focused around the cards with my 5yr old, it helps get us away from our screens more and provides opportunities to learn about nature with her, which we love.
Jillian H.
I bought this game as a high school science teacher to play with my classes.
They absolutely love it. There are so many different versions. You can play by yourself, with a group, competitively, and cooperatively! It really meets the needs of all my kiddos! It inspires curiosity. It encourages my kids to actually talk to each other and explain their thinking as they identify patterns.
The science department also played it during a department meeting and we had so much fun!
The only problem is that some of the QR codes do not work. #31 off the top of my head, but there are a few others.
Betsy R.
We’re enjoying this with a wide range of ages of players, learning about all sorts of places and creatures as we go. Who knew that Singapore and Oklahoma harbored so many wonders?! We’re just starting out, but looking forward to lots of creativity this winter. Thanks!
Ruth G.
I hope my grandkids will grow into this. The graphics on the cards were well done & they did enjoy looking at them but are a little too young (4 & 6) to try to see similarities or other things suggested by the enclosed material. They were quickly bored with trying for the similarities between the cards however I was able to engage them in finding similar patterns or colors to those on the cards to those things that were in the house. I will hang onto this, however, because I feel they enjoy these more as they grow into using the cards to explore their creativity.
Denise P.
We haven’t played it as it was purchased for a Christmas gift. However we unwrapped the cards to take a peek (didn’t think the grandkids would mind). The cards are stunning and we are looking forward to many games with them!
Carol W.
I looked at all the beautiful photo Nature cards with my adult daughter who is a teacher. We played with them ourselves and scanned the codes on the back. It was like magic, the site came right up and we could learn about the photo as well as the photographer.
I am doing a series on our amazing Creation with my Children's Sunday School class this fall and can't wait until we have time to play with these cards. They will have such fun guessing what some of them are and just making up justifications for finding their "match".
This is really a beautiful, exciting set. I don't think "game" really does it justice. I love it.
Thank you

I love everything about this product. It was lost in the mail but Jacqui got another one out to me in no time! The cards are beautiful, the ideas for using them are well thought out, and even the packaging is well done. I will be purchasing more of these for Christmas presents.
Laura K.
My niece’s daughter who is 6 is the recipient. She just loves this game. Her mom says she hears a lot of oohs and aahs coming from her room!
Whitney M.
BEAUTIFUL photos and vibrant colors. My little kids (6 and under) loved playing—even if they don’t quite understand the concept. We talked about similar colors, similar shapes, similar types of photos, similar focus, etc. They’ve already been asking to play again. Great game!
Greer K.
I purchased two sets of OuiSi, the original and Nature-with the intention to bring them to use in my middle school library. However, when they arrived, my 33-month-old granddaughter wanted to open the box. Curious, too, I opened one set of the Nature OuiSi box. She immediately started seeing connections. I would offer prompts like, "Do you see any pictures with bubbles in them?" and "which cards have blue?" She loved it. Then she began guessing what the photos were of. She was often correct, but I started to flip the cards and use the QR code to learn more. She LOVED that. But her favorite part was seeing who took the picture. So each card, she asked, who made that? She quickly recognized the different contributors by their photo, so we got two-games-for-one!
Soon, though, the OuiSi games will go to my library to help reinforce visual literacy concepts and provide brain-breaks for our students. I hope to collaborate with both our visual arts and ELA teachers, but especially look forward to seeing how our ZooBot (Zoology & Botany) magnet program will use the game.
Sue W.
My grandchildren had a lot of fun making all the different connections between cards, trying to identify what they were and just looking at the pictures!
Martha B.
I've not had the chance to use the game or cards much yet. But I love the photos!
Lumina G.
They are being saved for Christmas gifts!
Kerry K.
I bought this to play with my grandson - and he loves it! We had so much fun matching shapes, patterns, colors, types of organisms - we talked, laughed, and discussed to our heart's content. I'm so glad I bought it!
Debra H.
Beautiful and well made game. The picture cards are sturdy and will last for many years.
I worked with youth for many years, and I see this game as an ice breaker for groups getting to know each other.
Suitable for elementary and up.
This is a cooperative game, not a competition. No winner/loser.
Dorothy D.
Beautiful and interesting.
Elizabeth B.
I’m a child psychologist using this as a therapy game. It’s a great tool to use for flexible thinking.
