If you are looking for a game that brings family members together, KidQuest Card Game is sure to help make lasting connections.
Seven-year-old Everest van der Zwan created the concept of KidQuest based on his experience asking family members different questions about their lives, drawing inspiration from the conversations that ensued.
Everest designed KidQuest with 100 questions to prompt engagement and interaction between kids and their parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts, and anyone else who wants to find tactile ways to tie in meaningful dialogue between kids and grown-ups.
The game comes in a palm-size box and features color-coded question cards across eight categories: Home, School, Friends, Work, Personality, Inner Life, Big Life, and Humor. Players will find fun conversation starters, such as “What birthday party do you most remember?” and “When did you laugh so hard you peed?”
Each question has the ultimate goal of creating communication opportunities between kids and grown-ups. As players learn new things about each other, they also learn other valuable skills along the way too.
Kids will practice their conversational skills, such as “bounce-back” and listening. There are life lessons and inspirational opportunities as family members discuss their goals and dreams. The game opens up casual, calm lines of communication, where everyone can openly chat about their hopes and fears, hard times, and even coping mechanisms.
The small, sturdy box makes the KidQuest Card Game ideal for travel. Extremely open-ended, you can play it for three or 30 minutes, and you can gather a large group of 10 people or enjoy it with just two players. This reviewer’s favorite way to play is to keep the deck on the dinner table and pull out one card each night. It fosters dinner-time conversation and keeps everyone off their screens, too.
All in all, KidQuest fosters communication and curiosity—and brings family and friends closer together.
